Default Measures to protect your information

Some available measures to protect your information may include:
  1. Be Secure: Many neighborhoods are converting from traditional rows of unlocked mailboxes to mailboxes that require a key to access. Stealing mail is a favorite method of identity thieves. If possible, receive statements and pay bills online to prevent sensitive information from being accessed by criminals digging through your mail.
  2. Be Smart: Tricks like looking over your shoulder as you enter a PIN number into an ATM machine work well for identity thieves. Criminals are also willing to look through garbage for the mail you’ve thrown away.
  3. Be proactive: Once a criminal has your information in hand, it can take less than 5 minutes for fraud to occur. A stolen purse with a credit card and other personal information inside is a great find for an identity thief. Call your credit card company the minute you think your card may be lost or stolen – the hassle of waiting for a new card to arrive in the mail is nothing compared to the hassle of dealing with the consequences of identity theft, as victims spend an average of 600 hours each dealing with the problems caused by the theft of their identities. Monitor your credit report regularly to ensure nothing suspicious has shown up in your name.
