<\/a>Securing Your Identity!<\/strong><\/h2>\nWhile we are preparing our homes for the season change, it is also a good time to review Identity theft. \u00a0In today’s society, we are all vulnerable to the potential of having our identity compromised or stolen. \u00a0Here are a few basic tips to help reduce your risk of theft:<\/p>\n
1. \u00a0When using the internet, be sure the URL is “https”, representing a safer web environment.
\n2. \u00a0Check for the lock icon on the browser bar when viewing webpages and making internet purchases.
\n3. \u00a0Register your phone numbers on the Do Not Call list www.donotcall.gov<\/a> & check out\u00a0\u00a0 www.optoutprescreen.com<\/a> to remove yourself from junk mailing lists.
\n4. \u00a0Cross shred all junk mail & pre authorized credit offerings.
\n5. \u00a0\u00a0Keep your personal & financial records in a locked fireproof cabinet, and any documents not needed regularly in a safe deposit box.
\n6. \u00a0Check your credit report often.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n[\/fusion_text][\/fusion_builder_column][\/fusion_builder_row][\/fusion_builder_container]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
