Identity theft can occur in a number of ways:
- Getting personal information off of bills or credit statements in the trash
- Eavesdropping on personal transactions in public
- Impersonating a bank or credit union in an email
- Gathering information from a facsimile of a legitimate site
Here are a few things you can do to prevent identity theft:
- Shred any documents with your Social Security number or credit information rather than throwing it away
- Log off your computer when you leave it
- Install anti-virus and anti-spyware software on your computer and run it at least every two weeks
- Be wary of emails from sources you don’t know
