April 11, 2008, Newsletter Issue #108: Signs of Identity Theft

Tip of the Week

Vigilance is the foundation for identity theft protection, so be on the lookout for the tell-tale signs. Check your credit report, and pay close attention to the inquiries section. If there are inquiries from companies that you did not contact, someone may be trying to open credit in your name. You should watch your mail carefully. If a particular bill or bills doesn't come on time, that may mean an identity thief has hijacked your account and changed the billing address to prevent you from finding out about fraudulent charges. Also, if you are denied credit, are offered sub-prime credit terms, or begin receiving calls from debt collectors you may be the victim of identity theft.
