Identity theft - Choosing to Share Your Personal Information.


"In November 2000, I found out that someone used my information to obtain a cell phone. Since then, I’ve been living a nightmare. My Credit Report is a mess. It’s a full-time job to investigate and correct the information."
 
{From a Consumer complaint to the FTC, April 3, 2022)
 
Our economy generates an enormous amount of data. Most users of that information are from honest businesses — getting and giving legitimate information. Despite the benefits of the information age, some Consumers may want to limit the amount of personal information they share. And they can: More organizations are offering people choices about how their personal information is used. For example, many feature an “opt-out” choice that limits the information shared with others or used for promotional purposes. When you “opt-out,” you may cut down on the number of unsolicited telemarketing calls, promotional mail and spam emails that you receive. Learn more about the options you have for protecting your personal information by contacting the following organizations.
 
Pre-Screened Credit Offers:
 
If you receive pre-screened credit card offers in the mail (namely, those based upon your credit data), but don’t tear them up after you decide you don’t want to accept the offer, identity thieves could retrieve the offers for their own use without your knowledge. To opt out of receiving pre-screened credit card offers, call: 1-888-5-OPTOUT (1-888-567- 8688). The three major Credit bureaus use the same toll-free number to let Consumers choose to not receive pre-screened credit offers.
