13. I get emails from Paypal, so I keep an eye on what they say. And I always check up on my account.

I check my credit union regularly, because I've had my eBay account hacked, and a couple of times my debit card.

I never ever click on links in emails. I always verify anything by going directly to an account and looking for any message/notice.

I used to get texts from Amazon about some sort of issue that was going to get my account closed if I didn't act immediately. Right now! The thing is, Amazon doesn't have my cell phone number. I don't give that out to businesses, and only have one government bureau (technically) that has it because I have to verify it's me and only a text will work.

I may have actually been born at night, but it wasn't last night.
