Staying Safe

Today identity theft is the fastest growing crime in the U.S. If you become a victim, it may take thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours to repair your financial status. What can you do to avoid falling prey to identity theft?

2. Maintain strong online account passwords and don’t do business over public Wi-Fi networks or with Internet vendors you don’t know.
