Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Checking his credit report would help determine if there are any other unauthorized transactions or accounts opened in his name. This would allow Andy to take necessary steps to prevent further fraud. While checking his computer firewall and diversifying his spending habits are good strategies for preventing future fraud, they may not address the immediate concern of unauthorized activities on his credit report. Cancelling his account with Planet Bank altogether and eliminating credit cards from his life may also be an extreme measure if a more targeted approach can address the issue.
