Step 4
If you are required to provide personal information,
get creative! If you must answer intrusive personal questions to
proceed, and your answers are not legally required to be valid,
consider using false names, addresses, ages, and occupations.
Step
5
Use “disposable” email accounts for all web
forms. If you do not want to continue to receive email from them
in the future or risk having your email address sold to spammers,
use a disposable
email account. Create a new email account
at least once a month.
Step 6
Do not follow web links in emails
sent by a questionable sources. This is especially true when the
web site requests sensitive
or financial information from you. It is easy for criminals to
forge a URL to make it look like a trusted web site.
