Here at The Fiscal Concierge Corp., we offer an Identity Theft Shield to protect you. However, there are also a number of things that you can do personally to protect yourself from identity theft. For the best protection from identity theft, we suggest that you follow these few simple tips:

• Never give your social security number, bank account numbers or any other personal information out to telephone or e-mail solicitors.
• Do you often receive pre-approved credit card applications in the mail? If you are not going to accept them, be sure to shred all of the application materials before throwing them out in the trash. Otherwise, identity thieves can find them, fill them out and start running up credit card debt in your name.
• Be sure to shred or otherwise properly dispose of all documents containing personal info.
• Periodically get a copy of your credit report and check for activity that is not yours. The sooner that you discover that your identity has been stolen, the sooner that you can restore it.
