| IDENTITY THEFT : Who's Got Your Number?? |
 When it comes to your personal information—like your Social Security number—do you know when you have to give it out, and when you don’t?
If you give it out, do you ask how it’s going to be used and whether it’s kept in a secure location?
Do you know why you should care?
Identity theft claims more than nine million victims each year, wreaking havoc with our personal finances and credit history. Often it starts with the theft of your Social Security number. Crooks gain access to your personal information in a variety of ways, ranging from the theft of a wallet to sophisticated scams on the Internet.
Experts agree that we can’t totally protect ourselves in all situations. However, there are several things we can do to minimize our risk, like knowing when a Social Security number is required and when it’s in our best interest to refuse to give it out as general identification.
Allegheny Central Employees Federal Credit Union wants you to be informed.
