1..*** Shred documents with personal information before you discard them.


2.*** Don't carry your Social Security card in your wallet or give out your number unless absolutely necessary.


3.*** Don't give out personal information over the phone, through the mail or on the Internet unless you know and trust who you are dealing with.


4.*** Keep your personal information in a secure place at home.


5.*** Inspect your credit report regularly.


6.*** Monitor your monthly statements for charges you didn't make.


7.*** Check with the company if you get a surprise bill or if you were denied credit for no apparent reason.


8.*** If you suspect identity theft, place a "fraud alert" on your credit reports.


9.*** Close any accounts that have been tampered with or established fraudulently.




10.*** If your identity is stolen, file a police report because creditors may want proof of the crime.
