Fraud and Identity Theft scams are growing rapidly and it is up to you to protect yourself and your sensitive information. According to IC3 (Internet Crime Complaint Center), here are some helpful ways to safeguard your information:
- Take time to research any offers you receive over the Internet or telephone.
- Do not deposit any checks that are supposed winnings from a lottery or sweepstakes, especially if you didn’t enter one.
- Do not provide your sensitive, personal, or financial information unless you know who you are dealing with.
- Consult friends and family or a trusted advisor before making any major financial decisions.
