Steps to prevent identity theft

WROC News 8

CPA Tom Walpole discussed steps you should take to prevent identity theft Monday on News 8 at Sunrise. "The first thing you should do is keep all your information safe," said Walpole.  "That's vital. Monitor your information -- your personal information -- and if you think you've had a problem, act quickly. Those are three things right there." Part of keeping your information safe is properly disposing of it.  "Anything that has any information on it that may be available to somebody else that's dangerous, shred it," said Walpole.
