Preventing ID Theft
For more information or to speak with a Financial Education Specialist, please contact us at FinancialEducationAB@academybank.com.
Identity theft happens when someone steals your personal information to commit fraud. Once identity thieves have your personal information, they can do a lot of damage to your finances and financial reputation. Identity theft puts your bank account and credit cards, even your health insurance and tax return at serious risk.
But how do thieves even get hold of your information? And what steps can you take to prevent them from doing so?
Academy Bank is here to provide professional insight on how you can spot a scam and keep your funds secure.
How Thieves & Scammers Get Your Information
Many thieves and scammers randomly generate email addresses or mobile numbers—that’s why you may have received fraudulent emails or texts that appear to be from banks you do not have an account with. They also:
- Hack computer systems and then sell personal information.
- Steal information from trash or a business.
- Trick you into revealing information through phishing scams.
- Take your wallet or purse.
- Pretend to offer a job, loan, or apartment to obtain your information.
- Purchase mailing lists.
- Obtain email addresses and mobile numbers online from web pages, chat rooms, online auctions, and directories or from illegitimate sources.
Academy Bank will never trade, rent, or sell your personal information, including email addresses, to anyone. For more information on our privacy policy, visit our Privacy Policy page.
