How Can I Prevent Identity Theft?

 

Minimize Your Risk!

While  Identity Theft cannot be prevented entirely; you can minimize your risk by managing your personal information wisely & cautiously.  Having an awareness of the issue can help guard against Identity Theft.

What You Can Do 

¥ Request a copy of your credit report from each of the three major credit reporting      agencies: (www.equifax.com / www.experian.com / www.transunion.com).

¥ Make sure that the report is accurate, and that it includes only those activities that you have authorized.

¥ The law allows credit bureaus to charge for copies of your credit report.

 

Secure your Passwords or Pin Numbers 

¥  Avoid using easily obtained information like your mothers maiden name, your birth date, or the last four digits of your Social Security Number.

¥ Do Not Write your Password or Pin # on the card nor keep it on a piece of paper with your card. Should your wallet/purse get stolen, this would allow the criminals easy access to empty your bank account before you're aware of your card being stolen.

 

Protect Your Personal Information 

¥  Do not give out any personal information on the telephone, mail or over the Internet. -           Suspects may pose as representative of banks, Internet Service Providers (ISP) or          even government agencies just to get you to reveal your Social Security   Number,  mothers maiden name,  bank account numbers or other identifying information.
