Regularly monitoring your credit report is a great first step toward safeguarding your identity. You can also take these additional steps to protect yourself and your loved ones from identity theft.

• Never give out personal information over the phone or through email. If someone calls claiming to be your doctor, your bank or your credit card company, verify the phone number through an official source and call it back.

• Keep tabs on your credit report. If your personal information has been stolen, you’ll almost definitely see signs of it in your credit report. ProtectMyID provides a free Experian credit report upon enrollment and will email you an alert if there are key changes.

• Report potential scams to the Federal Trade Commission. It may not investigate every claim it receives, but it will document them to look for trends and signs of large-scale fraud.

• Discuss identity theft with your family members. Children, teens and the elderly are the most vulnerable to identity theft scams. Remind your family members not to share their personal information with callers, by email or on the internet.

Now read about known identity-theft scams and a AAA member’s experience with identity theft.
