Even if you travel, you can still avoid this crime by letting someone you know handle all your mails. If you need to contact someone with regards to your personal information, don't talk on public telephone areas where others can be able to hear.
yeah there are a lot of shady deal when in comes to public telephones
Family members can do this for you, or a good neighbour that you would trust your children with is another. If you are not gone for long, have your mail held for you.

Not only public telephone conversations but avoid sharing vital information with your neighbours to. There have been instances where neighbours were involved in it. Basically be careful at all times and be on your guard.

no one knows about the other person's intentions.all i would say is just try to isolate yourself when you are travelling. or carry your PDC along with you. you can check all your mails on that without any middleman coming in between..
This day in age all you can do is hope.. Try to take preventive steps from it happening.

Good advise sigs. I completely agree with you. People are so recless nowdays. What a pity.
Also try travellers cheque's and don't bring your credit card with you. The pick pocketers in Europe are the best going around.
As for the mail, my local post office has something where you can say you will be on vacation for a certain amount of days (Max: 30) and they will hold your mail there in the office for you. It is one of the safest things you could do.
