Here are some tips on how you can avoid becoming a victim of fraud:
- Never click on a link inside an e-mail to visit a Web site. Type the address into your browser instead.
- It’s easy for a business to look legitimate online. If you have any doubts, verify the company with the Better Business Bureau.
- Only 2% of reported identity theft occurs through the mail. Report online fraud to the Federal Trade Commission at ftc.gov/complaint.
- Retain your receipts, statements, and packing slips. Review them for accuracy.
- Shred confidential documents instead of simply discarding them in the trash.
