At Best Reward, we make every effort to use the latest technology and product enhancements to safeguard your financial information. Help us protect your personal and financial information with these tips below:
Tips to Protect Yourself
-
Keep software systems up to date and use a good anti-virus program.
-
Examine the email address and URLs in all correspondence. Scammers often mimic a website or email address by using a slight variation in the spelling.
-
If an unsolicited text, email, or call asks you to update, check, or verify your account information, do not follow the link or call the number provided in the message itself. Go to the company’s website to login to your account or call the number listed on the official website to verify the request.
-
Do not open any attachments unless you are expecting the file and have verified the sender’s email address.
-
Scrutinize all electronic requests for a payment or transfer of funds and be extra suspicious if it urges immediate action.
-
Confirm requests for wire transfers, payment in person, or over the phone as part of a two-factor authentication process. Do not verify these requests using the phone number listed in the request for payment.
-
Check your credit reports from Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion for FREE by visiting annualcreditreport.com. Accounts or activity that you don’t recognize could indicate identity theft. Visit identitytheft.gov to find out what to do.
-
Consider placing a credit freeze on your files. A credit freeze makes it harder for someone to open a new account in your name. Keep in mind that a credit freeze won’t prevent a thief from making charges to your existing accounts.
-
Monitor your existing credit card and bank account statements closely for charges you don’t recognize.
