What proactive step should Jayden take to protect his personal identity after receiving an unexpected bill from a popular credit card company with which he does not have an account?

Jayden should verify the bill using the credit card company’s published phone number, rather than any contact details on a suspicious bill. He can ask whether an account or charge exists in his name and report it as possible identity theft if it does. Paying an unfamiliar bill or giving card details to an unverified third party could expose him to more fraud.
