Thanks for a good and sweet reminder at this busy time of the year. You're right - everyone is distracted and makes it prime target practice time for creeps and perverts.
Also watch your credit card activity too. Last year at Chrismas, my credit card company caught suspicious activity and froze my card (embarrassing at the store, but a very good thing). My account number was stolen (probably from on line). Last week, they did it again (again, embarrassing). But the charges were mine so all was good. But criminals know that we're far too busy to check our activity very closely. And if you put all Christmas on your card, you have so many transactions that you might miss a few "extra". Ten years ago, those stupid checks were stolen from our mail. I nearly paid them, because they just got lost in all the other Christmas charges!! |
