I'm more worried about identity theft and somebody managing to gain access to retirement accounts and drain them. In the last five years, somebody tried to open accounts in my wife's name at various online retailers and my credit card numbers have been stolen at least 3 - 4 times. We locked our credit about ten years ago after another attempt by someone to obtain credit cars in my wife's name. The world is getting crazy.

I also have nothing worth stealing. Worse case scenario they put money in my account lol

Yes big problem.

I recommend to fiends and fam a separate credit card or paypal for internet transactions.

There are tird party insurers for id theft but you would pay a premium for sure.

Lucky for me I'm too poor the leave the house and buy anything lol not lol 🙄
