Identity Theft: Stay Educated- Tip of the Week

Have Your Mail Held While Traveling 

If your mail is left unattended while your out of town, it is possible that your mail can be stolen and the info used for stealing your identity. This would be most likely to occur if you have a mail box that is easy to access (doesn't require a key to gain entry). If you take a little vacation you should schedule a hold for your mail. This ensures no mail is delivered and left sitting in your mailbox while you’re away. It may be tempting to have a friend or neighbor get your mail for you, but it’s better to play it safe and just have the post office hold it. In the past, the post office did not charge for this service; if they do now, it is probably at a reasonable rate and well worth the expense for the assurance that your personal information is secure.
