It all starts with the mail…
Our postal service is a free for all. Don’t forget that Ladies and Gents. Our personal information is out there no matter how much we try to hide it. First line of business is to do as much “opting out” as we can. While researching, I found this on the LAPD website under the precautions for identity theft. I have since done it and have drastically reduced my amount of junk mail.
