Tips
To avoid being the victim of a fraud:
- Never give your Social Security number to anyone over the phone. Also be aware of places that use your Social Security Number as an identifier for you (health insurance, etc.)
- Review all credit card statements each month and compare them to all receipts. Make sure that you check your credit report once a year. Report any unusual or suspicious activity
- Always get a call-back number on suspicious calls regarding any and all utility companies. Compare these numbers with the numbers on your bills
- Do not allow store employees to write your credit card number on your check. They can only document the type of credit card and year of expiration
