8 Things Not to Carry in Your Wallet
- Protect yourself from the risk of identity fraud -
Social Security card
Thieves can do a lot of damage with your Social Security number: open new accounts, lines
of credit, file fraudulent tax returns to claim refunds, or claim government benefits.
Medicare or health insurance card
Thieves can use your card to get medical care, buy prescription drugs or submit claims with
your insurance provider. This is known as medical identity theft, and it can leave you on the
hook for medical bills.
PINs and passwords
Carrying a piece of paper in your wallet with your debit card PIN number or a list of all
your usernames and passwords might seem like a good backup but it gives thieves easy
access to your bank account.
Multiple credit cards
The more credit cards you carry, the more damage thieves can do if they get your wallet.
Limit the number or credit cards you carry to just one.
Blank checks
Don't make it easy for thieves to raid your bank account by keeping blank checks or live
checks written to you in your wallet. Blank checks have your bank routing number and
account number as well as other valuable information. Thieves can take live checks written
to you and use a process called check washing to change the recipient name and dollar
amount on checks so they can deposit them in their accounts.
Lots of cash
If you prefer paying with cash rather than credit, you're better off using a debit card than
carrying a lot of cash. You're more likely to get your money back if a thief steals your debit
card and you report any fraudulent charges quickly.
Multiple gift cards
Gift cards don't have information thieves can use to steal your identity but if they are stolen
from your wallet, you likely won't be able to replace them unless you have the card number,
activation receipt or purchase receipt.
Keys to your home or car
Keeping a key to your home in your wallet is like an open invitation to a thief to burglarize
your home because your address is available on your driver's license (and those blank
checks you might be carrying).
