Protecting Yourself From Identity Theft

IMPORTANT FRAUD INFORMATION


To help protect yourself from identity theft you may want to consider taking the following measures:

bullet Don't give out any personal information over the Internet, by phone or by mail.
bullet Beware of promotional scams that request personal information or financial account numbers. Consider
using a bookmark or typing in the actual address of any website in which you are providing personal
information - not by an e-mail link.
bullet Memorize your Social Security number and do not carry your card. Only give your Social Security number
when it is absolutely necessary.
bullet Carry only the identification and credit/debit cards that you need.
bullet Report lost or stolen credit cards to the issuer immediately.
bullet Review your consumer credit reports annually. Cancel unused credit cards.
bullet Secure all your personal information in your home (i.e. SS number, passwords, birth date, financial records,
tax returns, and bank account numbers).
bullet Place passwords on your credit cards, bank and phone accounts. Avoid using information that is easily
accessible for passwords, such as, your mother's maiden name or your birth date.
bullet Use a firewall program and virus protected software on your computer.
bullet Ask about information security procedures at such places as your workplace, doctor's office or other
businesses that collect personal identifying information.
bullet Cross-shred charge receipts, ATM receipts, copies of credit applications, insurance forms, checks, bank
statements, physician statements and credit offers you get in the mail.
bullet Don't put mail in an unsecured mailbox. Use a post office collection box or your local post office. Have
check orders delivered to your bank rather than your home. Have your mail held by the U.S. Postal Service if
you are going out of town.
bullet Match credit cards receipts against monthly bills and check financial statements for accuracy. Follow up
with creditors if your bills do not arrive on time.
