Beware of crooks looking for more than holiday bargains. If you’re not careful, your identity could slip through the cracks during the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. In fact, according to the Identity Theft Resource Center® (ITRC), the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas is the biggest shopping season of the year and a great opportunity for identity thieves and pickpockets to take advantage of crowded shopping environments. ITRC receives more calls about lost and stolen wallets between November and January than any other time of the year.
