Today, I'm reading about identity theft, for some reason.  Here's a list of advice for prevention and such:

Also, preapproved credit card offers not only waste paper and your time, they increase the chances of identity theft, since each one is one more document with a bunch of your info on it.  So, go to OptOutPrescreen.com (which is endorsed by the FTC) and opt out of receiving them.

I'm a big fan of GreenDimes, which gets people off catalog lists and plants trees as well. Our junk mail load has shrunk remarkably since we signed up with them.

Neat. Thank you, oh researcher of random things.
