Protect Yourself from Identity Theft
BBB recommends these steps to safeguard your information:
Monitor your financial accounts: Watch for unexpected withdrawals, charges, or missing statements. Set up alerts to track activity.
Check your credit report: Get a free annual credit report from AnnualCreditReport.com, the only site authorized by the Federal Trade Commission.
Strengthen digital security: Use strong, unique passwords. Avoid common security questions based on personal details easily found on social media.
