Identity Theft
| • |
Be extremely careful about giving out personal identifying
information, such as your mother’s maiden name
and your Social Security number. Ask if it can be held
confidentially. Inquire into how it will be used and
with whom it will be shared. Give your Social Security
number only when absolutely necessary. Ask to use other
types of identifiers when possible. Do not put your Social
Security or driver’s license numbers on your personal
checks.
|
| • |
Never provide any personal, financial account or credit
card information to anyone who contacts you through a
telephone solicitation or by email. Ask them to mail
your information so that you can further research the
company and their products and services.
|
| • |
Keep items containing your personal information in
a safe place. Keep a list of all credit cards, account
numbers, expiration dates and the customer service phone
numbers in a secure place so that you can quickly contact
your creditors in case your cards are lost or stolen. |
