TRANSCRIPT
What’s the best way to prevent credit card fraud? It’s not what you think

Forget hours of shredding mountains of paper and fears about mailing letters from your – gasp – mailbox.

So what’s my secret?

FREEZE YOUR CREDIT!

Not literally, silly. What I mean is, contact the three major credit card bureaus.

Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax.

You can put a freeze on your credit online, over the phone, or by snail mail. It’s super easy.

And it only costs $3-$12, depending on what state you live in. That’s a lot cheaper than monthly credit monitoring, which can be up to $25 PER MONTH.

Hmm, run that by me again.

Now, if you’ve had your id stolen, chances are freezeing your credit is FREE

So what’s so great about this? When you freeze your credit, the three bureaus can’t legally release your information to ANYONE without express authorization.

So scammers that try to open credit or take out a loan in your name? Blam! No dice.

Just remember to put the freeze on at all THREE bureaus, or thieves could find a loophole.

Of course, if you’re about to take out a car loan or mortgage, you’ll need to unfreeze your credit.

Bruce Robertson, founder of Tristar Investigation was a guest on the popular radio program “Which Way L. A.?” with Warren Olney in March of 1998. (The nationally syndicated show is now called “To the Point”.) The show, entitled “Selling Privacy” focused on proprietary databases which gather public and private information on individuals and businesses. The argument was made that theses services violate a person’s right to privacy and can promote identify theft.

When the host asked if access to this information was an unnecessary invasion of privacy, Robertson pointed out that the public needs access to the information to combat fraud against those who operate under false pretenses. He also pointed out that private investigators provide the essential service of combating fraud, where in most cases the police are not willing to get involved. He stated that is the private sector does not have the ability to regulate fraud, all society will have to pay for that loss.
