Detect and Protect

Detect
To avoid identity theft, you’ll need to be your own detective. The best way to do that? Keep an eye on your personal records:

  • Your mail
  • Bank account statements
  • Credit card statements
  • Credit Reports

Is any of your mail opened? If so, it may have been tampered with. Does your bank or credit card statement show charges or withdrawals that you didn’t make? Be sure to check them closely every month.

Protect
You can protect yourself by following these simple dos and don’ts:

  • Don’t share your Social Security Number unless you have to. Keep your card in a safe place, but not in your wallet.
  • Don’t share your PINs and computer passwords or leave them out where others can see them.
  • Do copy every card that’s in your wallet. That way, if it’s lost or stolen, you’ll have a record of who to call.
  • Do follow these steps for how to handle a lost or stolen wallet.
  • Don’t throw your statements and other financial information in the trash. Shred them first.
