Monday 6th October 2008 marks the UK’s fourth National Identity Fraud Prevention Week (NIFPW), a major awareness drive which warns consumers about the dangers of identity fraud. NIFPW will educate consumers and businesses as to the dangers of identity fraud, and the preventative steps that could – and should – be taken.

Owen Roberts, Identity Protection Expert from Callcredit, available for interview.

Callcredit’s top tips to protect your identity:

Don’t throw your identity in the bin – keep track of your important documents and shred those you no longer need
Always check your statements and watch out for small unrecognised transactions as these can be a precursor to serious spending by a fraudster
Make certain you are watching for warning signs by regularly checking your credit report through services such as www.callcreditcheck.co.uk
Keep passwords and PIN codes safe and don’t disclose them to anyone
Don’t broadcast your identity on the internet by failing to protect your PC
