Personal Safety Resolutions for a Safe Year: Deter and Detect Identity Theft • Review your credit report regularly. • Shred documents containing personal information. • Keep your Social Security number and pin numbers confidential. • Opt out of unnecessary mailing lists. • Remove personal information from personal, company, and family websites. Beware of Telemarketers • Generally, if an offer sounds to good to be true, it is. • If you are considering making a purchase by phone, and you did not initiate the call, ask for a catalog or information to be mailed to you first. • Never reveal your checking account, credit card or Social Security numbers to a caller regardless of whom they say they are. Be Smart When You Park: • Park in well-lit, heavily trafficked areas. • Walk briskly, with your head up and be aware of your surroundings. • Have your keys in hand and look into your vehicle before entering. • Lock all doors as soon as you are in your vehicle. • When alone at night, ask for a security escort to your vehicle.
