Helpful Hints to Prevent Identity Theft

  1. Do not sign the back of your credit cards.  Instead, put “PHOTO ID REQUIRED”.
  2. When writing checks to pay on your credit card accounts, DO NOT put the complete account number on the “Memo” line.  Instead, just put the last four numbers.  The credit card company knows the rest of the number, and anyone who might be handling your check as it passes through all the check processing channels will not have access to it.
  3. Never have your Social Security number printed on your checks.  If you have a PO Box use that instead of your home address.
  4. Copy the contents of your wallet.  Do both sides of each license, cred card, etc.  You will know what you had in your wallet and all of the account numbers and phone numbers to call and cancel.  Keep the copy in a location that is easy to access and safe.
