Tips for safe guarding your identify…

Tips for safe guarding your identify…

1. Do not sign the back of your credit cards. Instead, put 'PHOTO ID REQUIRED.'

2. When you are writing checks to pay on your credit card accounts, DO NOT put the complete account number on the 'For' line. Instead, just put the last four numbers. The credit card company knows the restof the number, and anyone who might be handling your check as it passes through all the check processing channels won't have access to it.

3. Put your work phone # on your checks instead of your home phone. If you have a PO Box use that instead of your home address. If you do not have a PO Box, use your work address. Never have your SS#printed on your checks. You can add it if it is necessary. But if you have It printed, anyone can get it.

4. Place the contents of y our wallet on a photocopy machine. Do both sides of each license, credit card, etc. You will know what you had in your wallet and all of the account numbers and phone numbers tocall and cancel. Keep the photocopy in a safe place. I also carry a photocopy of my passport when I travel either here or abroad. We've all heard horror stories about fraud that's committed on us in stealing a Name, address, Social Security number, credit cards.If your wallet is stolen…

5. We have been told we should cancel our credit cards immediately. But the key is having the toll free numbers and your card numbers handy so you know whom to call. Keep those where you can find them.

6. File a police report immediately in the jurisdiction where your credit cards, etc., were stolen. This proves to credit providers you were diligent, and this is a first step toward an investigation (if there ever is one).But here's what is perhaps most important of all: (I never even thought to do this.)

7. Call the 3 national credit reporting organizations immediately to place a fraud alert on your name and also call the Social Security fraud line number. I had never heard of doing that until advised by a bank that called to tell me an application for credit was made over the internet in my name.

The alert means any company that checks your credit knows your information was stolen, and they have to contact you by phone to authorize new credit.

By the time* I was advised to do this, almost two weeks after the theft, all the damage had been done. There are records of all the credit checks initiated by the thieves' purchases, none of which I knew about before placing the alert. Since then, no additional damage has been done, and the thieves threw my wallet away this weekend (someone turned it in). It seems to have stopped them dead in their tracks.

Now, here are the numbers you always need to contact about your wallet, if it has been stolen:1.)
Equifax: 1-800-525-62852.)
Experian (formerly TRW): 1-888-397-37423.)
Trans Union: 1-800-680 72894.)
Social Security Administration (fraud line): 1-800-269-0271

*this hasn't happened to me....I've copied this from an email my aunt sent me. It's better to be safe than sorry.

Valentines Day Grilled Shrimp Tostada Bites - Z Tejas

I love these at Z Tejas, so for Valentines day I thought I would try to make them on my own. They're fantastic!! I've already made them again. This time I made extra cilantro pesto and froze the extra. You can also puree the whole can of chipoltes and freeze it too.

Guacamole - the recipe for guacamole is below. I used my own.

Ingredients
Avocado 3 each
Tomato (diced) 1 each
Red Onion (diced) ½ each
Lime for Juice 1 each
Cilantro 3 Tbls
Jalapeño (diced) 1 each (deseeded)
Sour Cream ¼ cup

Preparation
Place all ingredients in a bowl and mash using a whisk.
Salt and pepper to taste.

Grilled Shrimp

Ingredients
Shrimp (peeled/deveined) 24 each
Cilantro Pesto 1 cup (cilantro, almonds, olive oil)
Guacamole
Chipotle Puree ¼ cup (chipolte in adobo sauce pureed)

Chip I fried up some bite size corn tortillas.

Preparation
Marinate shrimp with cilantro pesto and place on skewers. Grill approx 2 minutes per
side. Using your favorite chip, place a dollop of guacamole then chipotle puree then top
with shrimp.

Here's what they look like before you put them on the grill....

And the final product!!

And my honey brought home these! Maybe I should cook like this more often. :)
