Beth Pardue asked:
The most important step that you can take for identity theft prevention is to order a new copy of your credit reports at least once a year to prevent being caught by surprise charges and accounts.
You can request a free credit report [http://www.credit-report-credit-score.com] from one of the many reputable credit companies available online or you can pay for a copy by requesting it directly through one of the major credit bureaus. The sooner identity theft is caught, the sooner the damage that has been done to your credit can be repaired.
Other things you can do for identity theft prevention include the following tips: Don’t carry unneeded credit cards, your Social Security card, your birth certificate or other personal documents in your purse or wallet. Keep track of all your ATM, credit card, debit card and other receipts. Either store these documents in a safe place or destroy them before putting them in the trash.
Additionally, if you have credit card accounts that you do not use, cancel them. Also, it is a good idea to keep a list of all of your credit card account numbers and the companies’ telephone numbers so you can cancel them quickly and easily in case they are stolen or lost. Just be sure you choose a safe place to leave the hard copy.
Lastly, protect your Social Security number as much as possible. This number is one piece of information that is always needed to open bank accounts and apply for credit cards. Do not give it out to any person or company unless you are familiar with them and you have initiated the communication.

Identity Theft Prevention – 12 Things To Do If Your Checks Are Missing Or Stolen
Posted by Wolf on March 2, 2010 under theft prevention
Abhishek Agarwal asked:
One of the easiest ways a fraudulent person can access your bank is through a check. All they need to do is pick your pocket, handbag or briefcase, and they might even get the whole check book filled with blank pages. Can you imagine what damage this person could do if he or she could forge your signature? If you do realize one day that your check is missing, it could very well be stolen by such a thief. Stop payments on all issued checks immediately, because you may not have issued them! Do get your bank statements, and speak with the bank officials to see if any of the leaves have already been used. In most cases it would be easier to verify this if you could provide the check numbers. If you are a regular check user and are aware and fearful of identity theft, you could use these measures to feel safer about the issue -
1. You could ask for a credit report from a credit agency to see if there are unusual transactions from your account. It may be a small transaction at first, as a ‘trial run’ to **** your money out little by little.
2. Write down all the check numbers every time you issue one – this way you would realize immediately when one or more leaves is missing, and then go ahead and stop payment on them.
3. Don’t keep all your eggs in one basket! Carry your passport, check books and other important personal papers in different bags/wallets.
4. Do not place any check account statement in your mailing box. that makes it an easy target for identity thieves.
5. Do ask for privacy procedure processes at the bank.
6. Keep all the check statements on record for future reference.
7. If you need a new check book, collect it personally at the bank rather than have it mailed to you. All a thief would need to do is break open your mail box!
8. It is a bad idea to write down your social security number on any check. This way, if you lose your check, you also just give your social security details to the thief.
9. take the time to review your bank statements as they are coming in. Look for any unusual transaction, and contact the bank to verify.
10. If you apply for a check account, ask for the return of application once it is approved – so it does not fall into the wrong hands.
11. Use all the space in the allotted area when writing out a check. Do not leave space for someone to add to it. Also, use a permanent marker when writing checks.
12. If you find a check missing from your book, call the police and call the bank before that.
