Street-Smart Defense: 5 Tips to Keep Your Identity Down Packed

1

Lock It Down TightYour wallet is your treasure chest, so keep it locked tight. Invest in a RFID blocking wallet because you never know. These broke ass hackers can look like anyone and can access your bank account just by passing you with their phone. If you’re rushing to work and misplace your card at home, it’s good to have a digital wallet on you since most places accept apple pay/google wallets.

You Better Remember That PasswordMake your passwords longer than the wait at the bodega when someone’s tio is trying to cash in their lotto tickets. Mix upper and lowercase letters, throw in some numbers, and spice it up with special characters. Trust me, no one’s going to bother cracking your password if its ‘B0rnNraisedInBr00klyn718-646-917-347”

Ditch That PaperSave the environment and rip that paper UP, mi amor. Shed and toss those credit card offers and bills like they owe you money. These grimy social security stealing bums aren’t getting a roadmap to our pockets!

Eye That Credit Report Like It Owes You Money!Credit can be the devil but you need it in this economy! Keep those eyes open on your credit report like you’re watching that arguing couple across the street from your window. Look for anything that doesn’t match up with any purchases you didn’t make and report it pronto!

Ad Block Is Your Best FriendEver had that weird family member come unannounced to the family BBQ even though they weren’t invited? Well, this is the same thing; your computer is not an open invitation but malware won’t just invite itself. Someone’s trying to put it on your computer so don’t be clicking every link you see. We’re trying to protect your digital abode, not inviting trouble for dinner.

Remember, an empty wallet is temporary – but losing your identity is like GOYA discontinuing Adobo. Let’s keep it safe and buy a lockbox if you need to, just like Mami would! 💃🏽💳
