Identity Theft Awareness: 

Identity theft, typically conducted by means of mail theft and phishing scams, is a prevalent crime due to available and ever-advancing technology.  It is a lucrative crime with relatively low risk, especially when a phishing scam is used where the criminal enterprise is typically conducted out-of-state or over-seas.  

Internet fraudsters impersonate a business or other entity, such as a social security office, with the purpose of luring or tricking you into giving your personal or financial information, typically done via spam calls, e-mails, text or pop-up messages, it’s called phishing. The following are some tips about how to avoid becoming a victim of this type of fraud:

Spot imposters – scammers often pretend to be someone you trust, like a government official, family member, charity or a company. 

Do some research – Type the organization name, request type or phone number into an online search browser to see if others have reported the same scheme as a scam. 

Do not believe your caller ID – technology makes it easy for scammers to fake caller ID. 

Do not pay upfront for a promise – scammers may ask you to pay in advance. 

Consider how you pay – credit cards have significant fraud protection built in, but other payment methods do not – such as paying with a gift card. 

Talk to someone – before you give up money or your personal information, slow down and talk to someone you trust. 

Hang up on robocalls – if you answer the phone and hear a recorded sales pitch, hang up.
