The best prevention is knowledge, imo. If you learn how identity theft happens and how the thieves go about stealing identities, you can then do your best to prevent it. There’s definitely no definitive answer here unfortunately.
Always think before you click on anything when you’re online (especially emails in your inbox/junk folder)or offline!! Also, use common sense all the time. It seems obvious, but most people become victims because they provided their information directly to the thief in one way or the other!
Using common sense, being careful when you’re handing over any personal information through any avenue, and gaining knowledge about identity theft and the different scams that are stinging people daily are the 3 best tips I can give anyone to stay safe and keep their identity to themselves!
