Here is an important tip: If anyone asks you to write your SSN or your credit card number on a check, tell them NO!
If they insist, then you do not want to give them personal checks.

Does anyone use checks anymore for anything but paying utility bills? Geez even doctors take plastic for co-pays.

Does anyone use checks anymore for anything but paying utility bills? Utility bills are often quite easy to pay by means other than writing a check. The water utility I work at has three different methods, one of which is cost-free where they automatically debit the amount from your bank account.

I’m old school, I don’t pay anything online.
I did a lot of Christmas shopping online this year. In February, I got a call from Chase Visa informing me of about $1000 of “questionable” cc transactions. I had to cancel my card and have another one issued. I am now not a fan of online anything.

Hunt down and kill anyone anyone that tries to take your identity. Enough dead people might make a deterent.

I suggest taking it a step further as I have. Go to the websites of each of the three credit agencies and place a credit freeze on your identity. It costs $5.00 each (when I did it years ago), but makes it impossible for somebody to open a new account in your name. As a bonus, all the credit card offers that stuff your mailbox every day will stop almost completely.
Thieves sometimes steal credit card offers out of your mailbox, apply and then check your mailbox for the new card when it comes. They then immediately change the account address. By the time you realize what has happened, the thief could have run up thousands of dollars in debt.
