We put together a list of 5 things you can do to protect your privacy at home and away. They are based on real events that you might find hard to believe.
1. If you are a women, carrying an inexpensive hidden camera detector can protect you from hidden cameras placed in dressing rooms, gym lockers, public or private restrooms, or any place you might have to change your clothes. The Internet is full of these videos and you want to make sure you do not end up on YouTube in a way you never intended. One woman even found a hidden camera in the bathroom of her own home! A repairman who was working on the house installed the camera when he was there and incredibly, the women found it.
2. At the ATM or gas pump, make sure the part you insert your card is really part of the machine, and not a fake faceplate put on by criminals to steal your card information. Tug on it and see if the front comes off easily, as they use tape or Velcro to hold it on. People have actually been caught in cars, near ATM's with fake face plates and tape, as well as wireless camera receivers with a video feed right at the keypad so they can see you enter your pin.
3. Any time you have to enter your PIN number for your credit cards, always cover your hand with your other hand. There are many instances of the same criminals above posting cameras to also view the pin number while they steal your card information. A small box wrapped in black electricians tape with an antenna sticking out was actually found at a Wal-Mart counter pointing right at people to steal credit card and PIN information.
4. Be careful whom you give your credit or debit card to. Too often, we give someone a credit card to pay for something and they go and run the card. If it is possible, watch them to see if they are taking down your data. This is a very popular way to get your information to use to purchase goods without your knowledge.
5. If you are a single women, child, or elderly person, people use the telephone to find victims they can take advantage of in many ways. A simple voice changer that can slightly modify your voice is a good way to fool a caller into thinking you are a different person.
