Fraud

Protect yourself and your finances.

Fight Fraud

Knowing what fraudsters can do, learning how to protect yourself, and implementing what you learn is the easiest and smartest way to protect your finances.


Fraudsters

Certain personal information can allow thieves to open credit cards, apply for loans and services, set up bank accounts, and even access and take over your accounts.


Protect Yourself

Watch for unsolicited calls, emails, texts, and mail. Regardless of whether they call, email or approach you personally, do not give your personal information to people you don’t know or did not contact yourself. If you are unsure of the company or individual reaching out, end the conversation and call the company or individual back on a number you know belongs to them.


Implement Best Practices

There are many types of fraud and therefore many ways to protect yourself. Here is a good place to start:

  • Check your credit report annually.
  • Consider opting out of pre-screened offers.
  • Watch for phishing scams that trick you into providing personal information.
  • NEVER give your social security number to someone who contacts you unsolicited.
  • Lock up documents with sensitive information. Don’t carry them around unnecessarily.
  • Shred expired documents with personal information (medical records, tax papers, etc.).
  • Don’t overshare on social media (i.e. – don’t share travel memories until you’re home).
