Don't be a victim
Allied is committed to giving you total integrated protection - that includes protecting your identity and credit.
Identity Theft is the fastest growing crime in America, claiming 40,000 new victims every day in the U.S. alone. Losses emanating from identity theft totaled $56.6 billion in 2005, 3.5 times greater than aggregate losses of $16.2 billion from all other property crimes (burglary, larceny, and motor vehicle theft).
Here are some other ways to protect yourself against identity theft:
- Check your credit report at least annually.
- Limit information on personal checks.
- Be cautious providing personal information to others.
- Place outgoing mail inside post office collection points.
- Don't use ATM's at gas stations or convenience stores.
- Monitor your accounts and statements
