The callers are asking for personal information they Bay they need to verify your identity, lr. luding bank account andcredit card count numbers. Yes, the confos' i surrounding the disruption of the nations financial district is proving to be one more opportunity for scam artists to take advantage of unsuspectingcon-sumer- s, Rowe warns. Now more than ever, is the time to protect yourself, she says. Never give out personal information, over the phone or online, unless you know the business and have initiated the call. Scam artists have a way with words and will use your personal information to commit fraud against you. All that is needed is your social security number and birth date in manyinstances. Here are some tips from Rowe to help protect yourself: Be on the alert for unauthorized credit charges to your bank-issue- d card. If you havent authorized a charge, dont pay for it- - dispute it. Follow your credit providers procedures for disputing a charge. If you notice unauthorized debits to your checking or savings account, con tact your financial institution immediately. Keep last months bank statements, credit card receipts, canceled checks, deposit records and check registers for several months. Ifyoubank by computer, download your transaction records and store them on a backup disk. Report any discrepancies to your financial institution.
