Bill received these SECURITY TIPS from a lawyer who had his wallet stolen. More to follow in future weeks…

*** PHOTOCOPY CONTENTS of your wallet – copy both sides of each license, credit card, etc. In the past I suggested every RVer makes a list of each item complete with card numbers, contact info, etc. Store the info in a safe place. If you encounter a problem, cancellations are easier with access to these numbers. Stolen Cards can lead to total identity theft. Never put your SIN# to wallet contents.

*** If your wallet is stolen, call the two NATIONAL CREDIT REPORTING ORGANIZATIONS immediately to place a fraud alert on your name and SIN#. This advice was news to this lawyer until his bank called to inform him an application for credit was made over the Net in his name.

*** To prove you are diligent, always file a POLICE REPORT immediately in the jurisdiction where your wallet was stolen. Apparently there are records of all the credit checks initiated by the thief's purchases which means any company that checks your credit knows your information was stolen, they must contact you by phone to authorize new credit. The numbers you need to contact…1.) Equifax Canada: 1-877-249-2705; 2.) TransUnion: 1-877-525-3823

PROMOS THIS WEEK

The Cooking Ladies have done it again!!!! What a neat idea to present a selection of quick and easy 'HAPPY HOUR RECIPES' - this time in an easy downloadable ebook. As an avid long-time RVer, the most common form of entertaining for most of us is casual 'Happy-Hours'. Gathering at regular intervals on an RV Patio is such a fun way to socialize. These ideas will also be a huge hit at any back yard BBQ or when friends and family gravitate to your home as well.

I am presently following a 'healthy-eating weight-loss plan' and I'm happy to relay that the ingredients in most of these one-of-a-kind delicacies fit into the guidelines of my Portion Controls. Thanks one more time Ladies for sharing how to make your tasty one-of-a-kind creations. Click link to read more and order your copy today. Only $6.00 USD HERE
