FTC calls on account holders to protect all documents with sensitive information. Put birth certificates, social security cards and financial statements in a safe place.
Crush the account documents before discarding them.
Do not give the social security number to anyone who calls, texts or emails. Criminals can submit a government representative, bank or company to try to receive information.
True agents will not ask for your full social security number, it’s a scam.
Protecting information online and phones with hard to guess passwords. ASS Multifact Authentication for additional security of accounts that offer it.
