Identity Theft Threats
In recent months, it has been almost impossible to turn on the news without hearing about a large scale data breach. With all of the news coverage, it is easy to worry about the safety of your personal information. Frequently checking your bank and credit card statements can help to alert you if your information has been compromised. There are also many other signs that you may be a victim of identity theft, including:
- Your medical provider sends you a bill for services that you did not receive.
- You start to receive emails from companies that you do not know and look suspicious or start asking for your personal information. If you see any of these links in your inbox, do not click them.
- Debt collectors start to send you collection letters or call you about debts that are not yours.
- The IRS sends you a notification that there were multiple tax returns filed under your name.
While you can constantly be looking out for these signs to stay safe, you should also enroll in an ongoing identity and credit monitoring system to ensure that your personal information stays secure.
