Identity Theft has become a billion dollar nightmare

From "ghosting" where thieves steal a dead person's name and social security identity to credit card fraud, American's (both dead and alive) are being taken for billions of dollars every year. OrganizAmerica provides helpful resources to protect yourself and your family for this growing crisis.

What can you do to prevent Identity Theft?

Don't trash it, shred it. With the exception of your tax returns, shred ALL financial documents. Credit card statements, bank statements, old checks, deposit slips can be used to steal your financial identity.

Hide your Social Security Card. The only time you need it is when you start a new job. Don't carry it around.

Don't sign the backs of your credit or debit cards. Write "See ID" on the back. This will discourage thieves and alert sales clerks.

Don't shop through obscure websites or payment services. If you've never heard of the company, don't use it.

Don't talk business on your cellphone. Low-frequency cellphone calls can be picked up on other phones.

Carry altered copies of your driver's licence and other IDs. A thief can only guess at the missing data.

Ask for an annual credit report from Equifax or other reliable credit reporting agency. This will tell you if someone else has opened an account in your name.
