| "Identity Thief" a hit movie; no laughing matter in real life |
|
|
|
Earlier this month, a comedy called "Identity Thief" opened in movie theaters, but as any JCPD officer will tell you, identity theft is not one bit funny in real life. It is the most prevalent crime in Johns Creek.
Tips for preventing identity theft:
Keep birth certificates, Social Security cards & other personal documents in a lockbox in your home. Make sure they are put away when someone is working in your home or even if you have a roommate. When disposing of documents, use a diagonal shredder, which makes documents harder to piece together than a traditional shredder does. Don't leave outgoing bills, government forms or tax forms in a mailbox. Take them directly to the post office. Have your mail held by the post office while on vacation. Don't put your driver's license number on your personal checks. Consider writing just your first initial & last name instead of your full name. Don't toss credit card receipts in public places. Install anti-virus software, anti-malware software & a firewall on your computer & keep them up to date. A tech-savvy identity thief can use a virus to get personal information from your computer without you even knowing. Use unique passwords that are different for each website. Don't put your birthdate or other sensitive information on your social media accounts, even just the month & day. A thief can figure out the year you were born by looking at your posts. You're entitled to one free credit report each year (twice annually for Georgia residents), which you can obtain at www.annualcreditreport.com. Review your report for unfamiliar lines of credit, an account you didn't open, errors in your personal information or Social Security number.
