*Tips to Protect Against Identity Theft*

Identity theft is a concern everyone shares. Here are a few tips from the
Albuquerque Police Department on how to help protect yourself and your
loved ones from this ongoing problem:

·       Never give out your Social Security number, particularly if someone
calls or e-mails you and asks for it. Try not to carry your SSN card in
your wallet.

·       Don’t respond to any unsolicited requests for personal information.

·       Consider getting a P.O. box at your closest post office. Thieves
often break into mailboxes and steal credit cards, checks, or outgoing
payments. If you can’t get a P.O. box, ensure that you check your mail
every single day.

·       If you have a community mailbox in your neighborhood, check your
mail every day and encourage your neighbors to do the same. If possible,
ask a neighbor living close to the community mailbox to keep a regular eye
on it.

·       If you are traveling for longer than a week, have a trusted
neighbor pick up your mail, or have at temporary hold put on your mail at
your post office.

·       When buying gas, try to go inside and have the store clerk run your
credit/debit card, rather than using the outside card reader. Identity
thieves are very good at installing skimmers that can read your card
information and be used to create duplicate cards.

·       Check your banking accounts and credit card accounts frequently,
and watch for unauthorized transactions, even small ones.

·       Shred receipts, credit offers, account statements, and expired
cards, to prevent “dumpster divers” from getting your information.

·       Install firewalls and anti-virus software on your home computer and
personal smart phone and tablet devices.

·       Create complex and different passwords for each of your online
accounts. Change your password immediately if any of your credit card or
banking companies has a data breach.
