There are numerous ways a thief can gain access to your Credit Card information, but one of the most common is using a social security number.

The U.S. Postal Service maintains that making your Social Security number easily accessible may be dangerous, leading to identity fraud. The Chief Postal Inspector issued an advisory last fall that stated in part: "Identity fraud is digging deep into consumers' pockets. The perpetrator may use a variety of tactics to drain your finances: posing as a loan officer and ordering your credit report (which lists account numbers); "shoulder surfing" at the ATM or phone booth to get your PIN code; "dumpster diving" in trash bins for un-shredded credit applications, canceled checks, or other bank records; or, until recently, notifying the Postal Service to redirect your mail to the address of choice, such as a mail drop, which allows anonymity. It may be months before you're aware you're a victim.
