The answer is: Delivering packages to your home.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Skimming your card information from point of sale terminals: This is a common technique used by criminals to steal personal information. They use devices to capture card details when you swipe your card at a terminal.

  2. Impersonating a financial institution: This is a common phishing technique where attackers pretend to be a bank or financial institution to trick individuals into providing personal information.

  3. Delivering packages to your home: This is not a common technique used to steal personal information. Delivering packages is typically a legitimate activity and does not inherently involve the theft of personal information.

  4. Changing your address: Criminals may change your address with the postal service to intercept your mail and gain access to personal information, making this a common technique for information theft.

  5. Looking for personal information in your trash: This is known as "dumpster diving" and is a common method used by identity thieves to find personal information that has been discarded.

In summary, delivering packages to your home is not a technique commonly associated with stealing personal information.
