Stop Identity Theft


This information is from the USA Government publications* 

You can fight identity theft here’s how:

 • Never provide personal financial information, including your Social Security number, account numbers or passwords over the phone or the Internet, if you did not initiate the contact

• Never click on the link provided in an e-mail you think is fraudulent. In addition to stealing your personal information, the link may contain a virus that can contaminate your computer.


• Do not be intimidated by an e-mail or caller who suggests dire consequences if you do not immediately provide or verify financial information. 


• If you are unsure whether a contact is legitimate, go to the company’s Website by typing in the site address or using a page you have previously bookmarked, instead of using a link provided by the e-mail. 


• If you fall victim to identity theft, act immediately to protect yourself. Alert your financial institution. Place fraud alerts on your credit files. Monitor your credit files and account statements closely. 


• Report suspicious e-mails or calls to the Federal Trade Commission through the Internet at
