Protect Yourself from Fraud and Identity Theft

Here are a few tips on how to reduce your fraud and identity theft risk:

• Don’t share your personal information unless necessary
• Keep your phone and computers close and password-protected
• Shred documents with financial or other private information before discarding
• Monitor your financial accounts for signs of unusual or unauthorized activity
• Be wary of emails, phone calls or texts seeking personal information. If in doubt of their authenticity, do not open, answer or respond
• Practice good internet hygiene: use a secure internet connection, change passwords regularly, and keep your computer and browsers up-to-date
• Remember that your bank will NEVER call, text, or email you to ask for your PIN, password, or other private information
