Identity Theft

Identity Theft

Every year, millions of people fall victim to identity theft. It can take many forms—from a stranger hacking into your digital accounts, to someone fraudulently obtaining loans, credit cards, or even housing in your name for their own personal gain.

No matter what form it takes, the results can be devastating to your personal finances, your credit score, and your peace of mind.

Protect Your Identity

The best defense against identity theft is diligent protection of your personal data.

Three Ways to Reduce Your Risk of Identity Theft:

1. Keep your Social Security number private. Never give it over the phone or internet to anyone you don’t already have an established relationship with.
2. Beware of phishing emails. Legitimate institutions, like your bank, will never ask you to provide sensitive information via email.
3. Use cash whenever possible. While credit and debit cards are convenient, fraudulent charges and identity theft create far greater long-term inconvenience.
