Detect Idendity Theft

Detect suspicious activity by routinely monitoring your financial accounts and billing statements. Be alert to signs that require immediate attention:

• Bills that do not arrive as expected
• Unexpected credit cards or account statements
• Denials of credit for no apparent reason
• Calls or letters about purchases you did not make

Inspect:
• Your credit report. Credit reports contain information about you, including what accounts you have and your bill paying history.
• Your financial statements. Review financial accounts and billing statements regularly, looking for charges you did not make.
