Identity Theft

Identity theft has rapidly become serious business and a major public concern . The effects of identity theft can be devastating. "THEFT TALK"T has only worked with about 20 clients who committed identity theft and we do not pretend to be experts on the subject. The identity theft criminals we worked with were very slick and had no concern about the effect they had on their victims. One thing we know: The number one way to protect yourself from identity theft is to protect your social security number. Below are the best links we could find on identity theft.

Guarding Against Credit Card Fraud

Tips to help protect yourself from credit and charge card fraud

Do:

• Sign new credit cards as soon as they arrive at your home.

• Keep a photocopy of your credit cards - front and rear. This method preserves for you the card number, expiration dates, and the phone number and address of each company.

• When possible try to watch your card during the transaction, and get it back as quickly as possible.

• Write "Void" incorrect receipts.

• Destroy the actual black carbon between the merchant copy and your copy.

• Save receipts to compare with your billing statements.

• Reconcile credit card accounts monthly, just like you do with your checking account.

• Promptly report, by phone and in writing, any questionable charges to the card issuer.

• Notify credit card companies of any change in address.

Don't:

• Don't leave credit cards or receipts lying around.

• Don't sign a blank receipt.

• Don't give your credit card account number over the phone unless you're making the call to a company you know is reputable.
