Remember, IF IT SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, THEN IT PROBABLY IS!! 

If you think someone has stolen your identity, take action IMMEDIATELY!

How can you tell if you’re a victim of Identity Theft?

If an identity thief is opening new credit accounts in your name, these accounts are likely to show up on your credit report.

You can find out by ordering a copy of your credit report from the three nationwide consumer reporting companies.

• Equifax 800-525-6285
• Experain 800-397-3742
• TransUnion 800-680-7289

If you have lost any personal information – or if it has been stolen – you may want to check all your reports more frequently for the first year. Monitor the balances of your financial accounts. Look for unexplained charges or withdrawals. Other indications of identity theft can be:

• Failing to receive bills or other mail. This could mean an identity thief has submitted a change of address.
• Receiving credit cards for which you did not apply.
• Denial of credit for no apparent reason.
• Receiving calls from debt collectors or companies about merchandise or services you didn’t buy.
