Simple Steps in Avoiding Identity Theft:

  1. Change your drivers license number from your Social Security Number to a randomly assigned number;
  2. Review credit and bank statements each month
  3. Consider buying a paper shredder to destroy sensitive financial documents such as credit, medical or bank statements, and credit solicitations you receive in the mail;
  4. Store your credit cards in a safe place and never in your automobile.

Identity thieves get some of their best information from your trash. Items left in your car are an easy target for someone truly interested in stealing your identity.

From Massachusetts Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation Website:

Since launching an identity theft consumer awareness campaign last August, Consumer Affairs Director Beth Lindstrom has joined with the National Notary Association (“NNA”) to attack the growing problem on another front. Last year, Massachusetts notaries handled more than 140-thousand property transactions with a value in excess of $59 billion. Notaries’ verification of personal identity and financial holdings are critical to completing property and many other transactions.
