Protect yourself and your family from Identity Theft
Everyone should be worried about a criminal stealing their identity. Especially with tax season approaching. Here’s why.
When criminals steal identities, they are actually stealing personal or financial information. They then use this information to take out credit card accounts or loans in other people’s names, reaping the financial benefits from them and sticking others with the bill.
Identity thieves might also falsely file a tax return, hoping to snag someone else’s income tax return. They might use personal information to break into credit card accounts to run up thousands of dollars in purchases. They might access online bank accounts and use the funds in them to rack up online buys.

Credit monitoring and identity theft protection services are two tools your employees can use to spot the signs of identity theft.
