Check out these 5 ways to protect your identity

Here are five easy ways the Federal Trade Commission shares with how you can protect your identity and personal information:

  • Read your credit card and bank statements carefully and often.
  • Know your payment due dates. If a bill doesn’t show up when you expect it, look into it.
  • Read the statements from your health insurance plan.
  • Make sure the claims paid match the care you got.
  • Shred any documents with personal and financial information.
