You can easily deter potential theft of your privacy by following some of these steps:
Shred It - Don't throw away statements containing personalized information such as account numbers, birth dates and social security numbers without shredding them first.
Lock It - Thieves can easily snatch mailbox correspondence that has all the information they need to commit identity theft. Consider purchasing a locked mailbox or slot in which to receive mail at home.
Review It - Check your bank, credit card, brokerage and other financial statements immediately upon receipt. Report any inaccuracies as soon as they are discovered.
Watch It - Review your credit bureau reports and report any errors immediately.
Prevent It - Get the latest firewall and anti-virus software to protect your computer against possible attacks.
Protect It - Never use public computers located at libraries, Internet cafes, etc., to view your accounts or to conduct financial transactions.
Don't Need It - Be careful of pop-up ads offering the latest anti-spyware, screensavers, or warnings regarding your system. There is no guarantee these are coming from reputable companies, so research before you download.
