***Protect Yourself Against Identity Theft***

Identity theft (when someone steals personal information such as a personal bank account number, a social security number, a PIN number, and then poses as that person), is a growing problem. We work very hard at protecting these numbers for you. Here are some precautions you can take as well.

1.DO NOT GIVE OUT PERSONAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION, ESPECIALLY YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER, ON THE PHONE UNLESS YOU INITIATED THE CALL AND YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE TALKING TO.
2.REPORT LOST OR STOLEN CHECKS AND CREDIT CARDS IMMEDIATELY.
3.REVIEW NEW DELIVERIES OF CHECKS AND CREDIT CARDS IMMEDIATELY.
4.STORE NEW AND CANCELLED CHECKS IN A SAFE PLACE.
5.DO NOT GIVE OUT YOUR ATM PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION NUMBER, (PIN), TO ANYONE.
6.MAKE SURE YOU PROPERLY DISPOSE OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION INCLUDING FINANCIAL SOLICITATIONS THAT ARRIVE IN THE MAIL BY SHREDDING OR TEARING THEM UP.
7.STUDY YOUR BILLS CAREFULLY AND QUESTION ANY SUSPICIOUS CHARGES IMMEDIATELY.
8.PERIODICALLY CHECK YOUR CREDIT REPORT. FOR A SMALL FEE YOU CAN GET A COPY OF YOUR CREDIT REPORT AT ANYTIME.

Together we can help head off identity theft and account fraud before they happen.
