Simple Steps to Prevent Complex Problems

It's sad to say there are too many people in this country and around the world willing to steal your money, your information, and your identity for personal gain or even for kicks. And while there are regulations that may limit your financial liability from fraudulent activity, clearing up problems can be frustrating, time consuming, and expensive.

There's not much any of us can do to prevent the existence of dishonest people – they've been around forever. However, there are steps you can take to prevent criminal activity and cyber vandalism from affecting you, your family, and your business. This section of StreetWise will expand as we uncover more scams and ways to protect yourself.

If you have ideas for enhancing this portion of StreetWise, please email your ideas to dcu@dcu.org*.
