Prevent Identity Theft When Traveling
As you make your travel plans, plan how you’ll keep your personal information safe. When you’re away from home, distractions become opportunities for
thieves who are looking for ways to steal your identity. Don’t let them ruin your vacation.
These simple steps can save you hours of frustration and hundreds of dollars or more. Before you go:
• Have your mail collected or held at the post office.
• Don’t blog, tweet, or post your travel plans on social networking sites.
• Decide which credit cards you’ll take (as few as possible) and how you’ll stash a backup in case one is lost, stolen, or canceled.
• Make a list of important phone numbers, including the numbers of Acclaim FCU and other credit card issuers.
• At home, make sure your financial documents aren’t sitting in plain view.
