Information security – identify theft prevention tips

(Back to top)

· Empty your wallet of extra credit cards, better yet cancel the ones you don’ t use.

· Order your credit report once a year from the credit bureaus. Check for inaccuracies or fraudulent use.

· Shred all pre-approved credit applications, credit card receipts, bills and other financial information prior to disposing of them.

· When ordering checks, consider removing extra information such as your SSN, middle name, and telephone number. The less information available the better.

· Try not to leave mail in your mailbox. Pre-approved credit cards applications are like candy to the Identity Thief. Use the post office or secured mailboxes to mail bills and payments.

· Protect your Social Security Number. It is the key to banking and credit card accounts as well as insurance, health and VA benefits, making it a prime target for identity thieves.

· Put passwords on your credit card, bank and all other financial accounts, do not write them on your cards or keep them in your wallet.

· Keep items with personal information in a safe place, this includes your children information as well.

· Do not give out personal information on the telephone, through the mail, or over the Internet unless you initiated the call.

· Follow up with creditors if your bills don’t arrive on time. A missing bill or credit card statement in the hands of an identity thief could mean your account has been taken over.

· Be cautious about where you leave your Military ID card or other personal information.
