Identity Theft

Identity theft is the fastest growing white-collar crime. It happens when an identity thief obtains some pieces of your personal information. The thief then uses the information about you, without your knowledge, to commit fraud or theft. The identity thief is disguised as you, using your identity to make purchases. The trail leads back to you, which has potential to hold you liable.

Sometimes Identity Theft expenses can reach up to $10,000 - $15,000. This could take months, possibly years to correct. Thieves find mailboxes easy targets to steal information from. A locking mailboxes prevents this from happening.

Consider safeguarding yourself by securing incoming mail and shredding documents you throw away.
