Identity Theft -It's Real

Some Good Advice
 
1. The next time you order cheques have only your initials (instead of first name) and last name put on them.  If someone takes your cheque book, they will not know if you sign your cheques with just your initials or your first name, but your bank will know how you sign your cheques.
 
2. Do not sign the back of your credit cards.  Instead, put "PHOTO ID REQUIRED".
 
3 When you are writing cheques to pay on your credit card accounts, DO NOT put the complete account number on the "For" line.  Instead, just put the last four numbers.  The credit card company knows the rest of the number, and anyone who might be handling your cheque as it passes through all the cheque processing channels won't have access to it.
 
4. Put your work phone # on your cheques instead of your home phone.  If you have a PO Box use that instead of your home address.  If you do not have a PO Box, use your work address.   Never have your SIN# printed on your cheques.  (DUH!)  You can add it if it is necessary.  But if you have it printed, anyone can get it.

5. Place the contents of your wallet on a photocopy machine.  Do both sides of each license, credit card, etc.  You will know what you had in your wallet and all of the account numbers and phone numbers to call and cancel.  Keep the photocopy in a safe place.  Also carry a photocopy of my passport when travel either here or abroad.  We've all heard horror stories about fraud that's committed on us in stealing a name, address, SIN, credit cards.
Here's some critical information to limit the damage in case this happens to you or someone you know:

1. We have been told we should cancel our credit cards immediately.  But the key is having the toll free numbers and your card numbers handy so you know whom to call.  Keep those where you can find them.

2. File a police report immediately in the jurisdiction where your credit cards, etc. were stolen.    This proves to credit providers you were diligent, and this is a first step toward an investigation (if there ever is one).

But here's what is perhaps most important of all:  

3. Call the two national credit reporting organizations immediately to place a fraud alert on your name and Social Insurance number.  I had never heard of doing that until advised by a bank that called to tell me an application for credit was made over the Internet in my name.  The alert means any company that checks your credit knows your information was stolen, and they have to contact you by phone to authorize new credit.
 
Now, here are the numbers you always need to contact about your wallet, etc. has been stolen:

1.) Equifax Canada: 1-877-249-2705
 
2.) TransUnion: 1-877-525-3823
