Do you feel like everyone is asking you for info? Well, guess what they are, and there is a reason for them wanting all this info.

- Never give your cell phone to a store clerk. This happened to me a Sears my response was sure if you can give me your personal cell phone, as you can imagine he would not give me his cell phone number.
- If someone is a perceived authority and asks for your cell phone number do not give it out unless they give you their home number,, see how that works…
- If you have a landline use an answering machine and screen all your calls.
- Do not pick up your landline ever let the answering machine answer all your calls.
- Do not give anyone any information over the phone ever.
- If anyone who is not your family asks for personal information JUST SAY NO!
