<td id=3D"Eysjuwh72"><p> </p> <p> </p> <p>After trending d=
ownward for four years, identity theft is on the rise again. Last year more=
than 11 million consumers were hit by the crime. That's a record, accordin=
g to Javelin Strategy and Research, a California company that has surveyed =
5,000 adults on the subject every year since 2003. The jump is partly a res=
ult of the recession, Javelin says, when fraud tends to spike. But you don'=
t need to sign up for expensive services offered by -reporting bureaus and =
other companies to keep your identity safe. Most of their products are unne=
cessary or ineffective, or they duplicate things you can do yourselfâ=
??free. Our own assessment of some two dozen identity-theft protection prod=
ucts crowding the market found dubious value. Here's how to protect yoursel=
f. 1. Get serious, not scared Don't let the horror stories freak you out. T=
he worst-case scenarioâ??where someone opens new accounts or commits =
other crimes using your name, Social Security number, or other information&=
acirc;??is relatively uncommon. That nightmare happened to less than 1 perc=
ent of all U.S. households in 2005, according to the latest data from the U=
S. Department of Justice. Half of that group resolved the problem, usually=
in less than a day to two weeks. </p><p> The most common form of ID theft =
isn't even what most people think of as ID theft. It's old-fashioned -card =
fraud and check-kiting, with someone fraudulently accessing your - or debit=
-card account. It affects about 4 percent of households. What's more, in mo=
st cases, your liability is legally limited, and issuers or banks pay the d=
irect losses, not you. Most victims suffered no out-of-pocket costs last ye=
ar; those who did lost only $373 on average, half the amount lost in 2007, =
Javelin says. That's well below the $1 million to $2 million guarantees tha=
t many identity-theft protection services trumpet to suggest that your loss=
es could be catastrophic. You can protect yourself by taking these low-tech=
, common-sense precautions: Never give your Social Security number or other=
information to strangers who call, text, or send e-mail messages to you, e=
ven if they seem legitimate, as with phony "phishing" e-mail that=
looks like it comes from your bank. And don't write your Social Security n=
umber on checks (except those you send to the IRS), non applications, or ot=
her forms. Never leave your wallet or purse unattended. Don't carry your So=
cial Security card, rarely used cards, or written PINs or passwords. Store =
financial account statements, medical records, and tax filings in a secure =
place at home, especially if you let workers or others inside, and shred th=
ose documents when you no longer need them. Don't post your date of birth, =
mother's maiden name, first pet's name, or other personal information on we=
bsites like Facebook, Flickr, Friendster, LinkedIn, MySpace, or Twitter. Th=
ey're often used to verify your identity and could allow an imposter electr=
onic access to your accounts. If your bank or -card issuer offers free onli=
ne or mobile alerts that will warn you of suspicious account activity as so=
on as it's detected, sign up for them. The alerts are different from the ex=
pensive -monitoring services that banks also sell. (You don't need those.) =
If a lender can't pull your report, it isn't likely to grant new to someone=
else in your name. So a security freeze is an excellent deterrent against =
fraud. But like all deterrents, it isn't fail-safe. "Some ors, such as=
payday lenders, will give without getting a report," says Rebecca Kue=
hn, assistant director of the Federal Trade Commission's division of privac=
y and identity protection. </p><p> If you haven't placed a security freeze =
and you spot a sign of identity theft, put an initial fraud alert on your r=
eport immediately. That's fast, free, and stays in place for 90 days. It al=
so gives you additional legal protection. After that, request a security fr=
eeze. Prospective lenders are supposed to see a fraud alert on your =
372022 file and call you to find out whether the application is legitimate.=
Filing a fraud alert is appropriate anytime your identity information is c=
ompromised, such as when your wallet, cell phone, or computer is lost or st=
olen, or if your home or car is broken into. But you should also do it afte=
r more-subtle warning signs, such as finding unauthorized charges on your =
546856-card statement (even if quickly resolved) or failing to receiv=
e expected bills or mail. Fraud alerts are free; security freezes typically=
cost $5 to $10 per person per 042537 bureau each time you place or =
temporarily lift one. Prices range from free to $20 depending on state law.=
But if you're a victim of ID fraud, freezes are usually free. You can init=
iate a freeze online directly with each 377097 bureau; for fraud alerts, yo=
u only need to inform one bureau, which will pass the request on to the oth=
er two. 3. Secure your devices If you access the Internet on your computer,=
you probably already know about the need for a firewall; regularly updated=
anti-virus, anti-spyware, and anti-phishing software; and strong passwords=
with upper- and lower-case letters, numerals, and symbols like #, &, a=
nd $. But you might not think about other wide-open doors to your identity.=
Make sure your smart phone, iPad, other mobile devices, and portable flash=
drives containing personal data have security applications and encryption =
in case they're lost or stolen.</p></td>=20
