Identity Theft Prevention

• Use passwords on all accounts and your PC that are difficult to guess – and DO NOT use the same password for everything. Don’t use passwords that relate to family names, birthdates, SSN, addresses, or your job.

• Do not keep passwords with you and DO NOT write them on debit or ATM cards.

• Be careful what you throw away. Take the time to shred any documents containing private or personal information.

• Carry only the identification and bank/credit cards that you actually need.

• Review your monthly statements promptly and carefully, immediately report anything that is questionable.

• If your bill or new card does not arrive on time, please contact the appropriate company immediately.

What to do if You Become a Victim

• Contact the fraud department of each of the three major credit bureaus.

• Contact the creditors or bank for any accounts that have been tampered with or opened fraudulently.

• File a report with your local police or the community where the identity theft took place.
