Security Tips
While anyone can fall prey to fraud and identity theft, there are many ways
to minimize your risk. Hazan Enterprises provides these helpful Security Tips so
that you can guard against fraud and identity theft.
Keep your private information private
- Never give out personal financial information online or over the phone
unless you have initiated the contact. Hazan Enterprises will never request
that you submit confidential customer information over non-secure channels
such as e-mail or phone calls initiated by us.
- Don't include information such as your Driver's License or Social Security
numbers on any pre-printed checks.
- Keep your Social Security card, birth certificate and other personal
identification in a safe place.
- Memorize all Personal Identification Numbers (such as your ATM card PIN)
and online passwords. Do not keep such numbers in your wallet or purse.
- Avoid using easily guessed or learned information as your online password,
personal identification number (PIN), or Telephone Access Code (TAC).
Protect your mail
- If you stop receiving bills, statements or other monthly mailings, or if a
bill is not received when expected, contact the issuing company immediately.
- Promptly collect incoming mail, and use a locking mailbox if possible.
- Send outgoing mail from a secured mailbox or a post office; try to avoid
leaving outgoing mail in your home mailbox.
- Tear up or shred all unwanted pre-approved offers for credit cards or
loans.
Maintain your security online
- When you're finished with any secure online session (such as ordering
products online ), always remember to Log Off or close your browser window.
- Review the privacy policies of Web sites before you make purchases on
them.
- Pay close attention to the URL (Web site address) of the site you are
visiting to make sure it is actually the site you believe it to be.
