NWR: Fraud Alert
I just place a fraud alert on my credit file since suspect someone is trying to open credit accounts in my name.
It might be something you want to do, even if you don't think identity theft is an immediate threat.
JUST LOOKING OUT!
It's pretty easy. Just contact each of the fraud department of the credit bureaus and ask them to flag your credit file for fraud. You'll probably talk to an automated voice response system and it should only take a few minutes. You should consider using your cell phone as a contact number, so creditors can reach you more easily.
