Never give the following out over the phone:
Banking Information of ANY Kind
Social Security Number
Any passwords

And be careful when giving out the following:
Credit Card Information
Times you will be out/home
Other Personal Information

Just a reminder as frauds increase during the holiday season.
Thanks for this!

Very right. And that includes insidious little messages on your computer that appear at the bottom of your screen asking permission to add, delete or change some specifically named file, alleging that the request is coming from Microsoft or some other big, reassuringly named company. Just don't do it. Merry Christmas!

If you do give out information, make sure it is in a https field, not a http address, because the https is a secure site compared to the http, which can be hacked into and information taken from...
