USPS scam ?

The scanners they have fit in the palm of your hand all they have to do is walk past you. I don't bank online, no debit cards, no social media,accounts. All I use my computer for is a email ever so often and look up car stuff.

And again, none of that matters. All the companies you do business with “offline” store your information online. I’ve had my information compromised a couple different times, none of them were me doing business online, they were data breaches of companies and government agencies. Not doing business online or not having social media would have changed nothing. In fact, I do all of that. I do most of my business online. I have social media. And the time my information was compromised was when the UC system got hacked, statewide data breach. All that info was filled out in person in pen and ink and triplicate, not online.

And honestly, your insistence on offline banking is probably hurting you. For example, when my credit card is used online I get a text message. When a purchase over a certain amount happens, I get a message. Sure, it’s annoying when it’s me, but if it’s not me I get a message. And I can instantly check my account and see any fraudulent activity.

When I lost my wallet, my physical wallet, I looked for it for 10 minutes and then turned off all my cards. When the ne’er do well that picked it up tried to use my cards, they were already disabled, my bank had already been notified, and my new card was already in the mail.

If your ID gets stolen, how long would it be before you noticed or are notified of the activity? A day? A week? I know the moment the transaction is processed, and can flag the activity instantly.

Being a dinosaur in the digital age doesn’t protect you. If anything, it makes you more at risk.
