How to Report Fraud and/or Identity Theft

• If you think your identity has been stolen, contact us at (605) 874-2191 immediately.
• Contact the fraud department of any one of the three consumer reporting companies - Equifax, Experian, or Transunion – to place a fraud alert on your credit report.
• The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has additional information.

Protect Your Online Information

• Use strong online passwords. Don’t share your passwords with others or use obvious passwords such as your birthday or the last four digits of your social security number.
• Click with caution. Never click on links sent in unsolicited emails. Never open or download from unverified sources. Keep your computer updated and install and maintain anti-virus software.

Protect Your Information

• Don’t carry your Social Security card in your wallet or write your number on a check. Give it out only if absolutely necessary.
• Don’t give out personal information on the phone, through the mail or over the internet unless you know you are speaking to a trusted source.
• Keep your personal information in a secure place at home.
• Don’t fall prey to scams! People who talk about scams and have a general awareness of them, are less likely to fall prey to them. Review our Common Scams Brochure.
