6 ways to avoid identity theft 1. 14% of identity fraud is committed by someone known to the victim. Use a password you never share and keep your financial records in locked storage. 2. Look at all financial accounts at least weekly. 3. Dont use unsecured Wi-Fi at coffee shops, libraries, etc. to transmit personal or financial information. 4. When paying online, look for https, not http, at the start of a web address, as well as a bright green box and a padlock graphic. 5. Maintain privacy on social sites. If you share too much, a smart thief may be able to use the info to answer your challenge questions and break into accounts. 6. Review your 3 credit reports (Experian, Equifax and TransUnion) at least once a year. Dont let it happen to you!
