1. Identity theft and credit fraud are two different things. Be informed about how each can affect you & your family
2. Use companies you are already familiar with, or research companies before doing business with them. Be careful who gets your information
3. Stop most pre-approved credit card offers by calling toll-free 1-888-5OPTOUT or online at http://www.optoutprescreen.com
4. When driving, place valuables on the floor or in the trunk to discourage would-be thieves, especially at gas stations and stoplights
5. Place outgoing mail in secure collection boxes, or take it directly to the U.S. Post Office. The red flag up on your mail box is a beacon to identity thieves
6. Don’t give information over the phone unless YOU initiate the call AND you are sure of the person you’re talking to. Beware of anyone offering free gifts
7. Purchase an IDENTITY theft plan that covers all the angles, including protection AND restoration/repair for you and your entire family. Do it NOW! BEFORE you are affected!
8. Know your rights. Affordable access to an attorney is a must! Know when you legally do and do not have to share your personal information.
