For Social Engineering Scams, The Best Security Patch Is Education

I lost my driver’s license while out of town last month, which I assumed would put a big damper on my trip. I rarely have to brandish a photo ID when I'm at home, since I frequent the same businesses that know me by sight. I assumed that wouldn't be the case on vacation, so I braced for the worst. Imagine my surprise when I realized that losing my license had virtually no effect at all.
