Check your online presence for identity theft!

Regular checkups will alert you to any changes with your online status which may signal identity theft. Review your credit report to see if any unrecognizable accounts were opened in your name. Check for unexplained withdrawals or charges on your credit card and bank statements. You should also make sure your important bills and statements are coming to your address since the first step for some identity thieves is to change the mailing address for an account. By doing these simple things, you’re keeping a finger on the pulse of your finances, and that will help protect you from attempted identity theft or fraud.
