Let Uncle Sam Help You The Taxman Cometh – Children: We've broken ground
|
Watch Your Mailbox Stealing mail to assume someone's identity is big business anytime, anywhere in the United States. But tax season can be especially dangerous as W-2 forms and other sensitive information containing bank and Social Security numbers arrive in mailboxes.
This sensitive data also enables scammers to take full advantage of other mail they steal
from you – namely, those unsolicited direct mail applications for pre-approved credit
cards, loans or refinancing opportunities, which have increased by 5 billion pieces
since the national Do Not Call Registry went into effect in October 2003.If mail isn't delivered through a slot on your front door, a locking mailbox is your best defense against theft. They are available for as little as $65. Visit the Education/Fraud section of our website to learn how to opt out of credit offers and junk mail. |
