"IDENTITY THEFT TIPS
Indications of Identity Theft

The following occurrences are some of the indications of identity theft:

• Charges occurring on your accounts that you did not authorize.
• If your credit is denied due to poor credit ratings, despite good credit history.
• If you are contacted by creditors regarding amounts owed for goods or services that you never obtained or authorized.
• If your credit card and bank statements are not received in the mail as expected.
• If a new or renewed credit card is not received.

Identity Theft/Fraud Prevention Measures
U.S. citizens need to be aware of measures that can be taken to either prevent or minimize their chances of becoming a victim of fraud. Some of these measures are as follows:

• Never give personal information via telephone, mail or Internet,
unless you initiated the contact.
• Store personal information in a safe place.
• Shred credit card receipts and/or old statements before discarding
in a garbage can--If you do not have a shredder, then use scissors.
• Protect PINs and passwords.
• Carry only the minimum amount of identifying information.
• Remove your name from mailing lists for pre-approved credit
lines and tele-marketers.
• Order and closely review biannual copies of your credit report from
each national credit reporting agency (Equifax, Experian, and Trans Union).
• Request DMV to assign an alternate driver's license number if it
currently features your Social Security Account Number.
• Ensure that your PIN numbers cannot be observed by anyone while
utilizing an ATM or public telephone.
• Close all unused credit card or bank accounts.
• Contact your creditor or service provider if expected bills do not
arrive.
• Check account statements carefully.
• Guard your mail from theft.
• BE AWARE!




If You are a Victim of Identity Theft

These steps are among those that should be completed by persons who believe they have been the victim of an identity theft:

• Contact the fraud departments for the three major credit bureaus to place fraud alerts on your credit file in order to reduce your risk of further victimization.
• Obtain and review a current copy of your credit report to determine whether any unknown fraud has occurred--(You will need to more closely monitor your credit going forward as some identity thefts can continue for extended periods of time).
• Contact the account issuer(s) where fraudulent accounts have been opened or where your accounts have been taken over--Ask for the fraud/security department and notify them both via telephone and in writing.
• Close all tampered or fraudulent accounts.
• Ask about the existence of secondary cards.
• Contact your local police department and file a police report.
• Notify the police department in the community where the identity theft occurred, if it is different from your own.
• Obtain copies of any police reports filed.
• Keep a detailed log of who you talked to and when, including their title, phone number, and other contact information.
• Contact the Federal Trade Commission's Identity Theft Clearinghouse and file an identity theft complaint at www.consumer.gov. Those complaints are utilized by law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, that investigate identity theft. You can also obtain additional information at that website regarding your rights as a victim.
• Online identity thefts can also be reported at www.IC3.gov."
