Helpful Tips:
-
Protect
your social security number and only
give it out when required by law.
-
No bank,
auction site or other business should
send you an email asking you to enter
credit card information, passwords,
social security numbers or other
personal information. Often these fake
emails will contain links to pages that
look real but are not. If you suspect
you are being directed to a fake site
please go to the actual home web site of
the company and inform them of what has
happened.
-
Avoid mail
theft by obtaining a locked mailbox and
dropping off outgoing mail at the local
post office or postal mailbox.
-
Do not
give out your personal information or
credit card number over the phone unless
you initiated the call.
-
Shred credit card offers
and bank statements before you throw
them away if you do not plan on using
them.
