SAFETY TIP OF THE WEEK

IDENTITY THEFT! How do thieves get my information?Identity thieves are resourceful and use a variety of ways to get your information. They

Dumpster dive or rummage through your garbage, the trash of businesses, or public dumps. They

may work or pretend to work for legitimate companies, medical offices, clinics, pharmacies, or

government agencies, and take advantage of that role to convince you to reveal personal information.

Some thieves pretend to represent an institution you trust, and try to trick you by email (phishing) or

phone (pretexting) into revealing personal information.

What do identity thieves do with my information?

Once identity thieves have your personal information, they can drain your bank account, run up

charges on your credit cards, open new utility accounts, or get medical treatment on your health

insurance. An identity thief might even file a tax return in your name and get your refund. In some

extreme cases, a thief might even give your name to the police during an arrest.

How can I tell that someone has stolen my information?

You see unexplained withdrawals from your bank account

You dont get your bills or other mail Merchants refuse your checks

Debt collectors call you about debts that arent yours

You find unfamiliar accounts or charges on your credit report

Medical providers bill you for services you didnt use

Your health plan rejects your legitimate medical claim because the records show youve reached your

benefits limit

the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) notifies you that more than 1 tax return was filed in your name, or

that you have income from an employer you dont work for

You get notice that your information was compromised by a data breach at a company where you do

business or have an account

You are arrested for a crime someone else allegedly committed in your name

What should I do if my information is lost or stolen, bu t my accounts dont show anyProblems?

If your wallet, Social Security card, or other personal, financial, or account information is lost or stolen,

contact the credit reporting companies and place a fraud alert on your credit file. See how to place a

fraud alert on page 6. Check your bank and other account statements for unusual activity.

and tell you about your rights. Generally, you may choose to:
