Top Ten Financial Security Tips
Below are some helpful tips to remember when thinking about your financial security.
| 1. | Never give your PIN (Personal Identification Number) to anyone |
| 2. | Look for and click on the "lock" icon on a Web site's status bar-this denotes a secure Web site page |
| 3. | When making an online purchase with your debit or credit card, make sure you know and can verify the vendor |
| 4. | Choose a PIN that cannot be found in your wallet; don't use your social security or phone number |
| 5. | Don't write your PIN on your debit or ATM card |
| 6. | Do not respond to e-mail or telephone solicitations asking for account information |
| 7. | Choose passwords wisely; mix alpha and numeric characters, the more characters the longer it takes to crack |
| 8. | Avoid accessing online banking through a public computer, where a malicious user may have installed a keystroke logging device |
| 9. | Do not use an ATM that looks like it's been tampered with or is broken |
| 10. | Be wary of people or businesses who solicit you with offers of investment ventures |
