Identity Theft: Know How To Protect Yourself
The number of Americans affected by identity theft will top 30 million this year. Identity theft occurs when someone steals your personal information to establish credit, purchase items or borrow money in your name.

Here are some important facts, tips and reminders of how you can protect yourself:

Safeguard your financial information such as checking and credit card numbers. Unless you know the person or organization, don't give it out, even to someone claiming to be from your bank.

Report lost or stolen checks immediately.

Notify your bank of suspicous phone inquiries such as those asking for account information to "verify a statement" or "award a prize."

Shred financial solicitations or financial statements before disposing of them.

Deposit your mail into a secure, official Postal Service collection box.

If regular bills fail to reach you, call the company to find out why.

If your bills include questionable items, investigate immediately. This is often the first sign of identity theft fraud.

Avoid phishing scams. Never reply directly or click on a link in response to an email that asks for personal or financial information. Remember, the bank will never contact or email you "out of the blue" to ask for personal financial information.

Security Measures People's Bank Takes
Substantial measures are in place at People's Bank to protect your identity against theft and fraud:
