To begin protecting your identity and financial reputation immediately, FCNB is offering six months of free enrollment in the Identity Guard Good Start service with no obligation! What is identity theft? Identity theft is among the fastest growing crimes in the country and the results can be financially and psychologically devastating to the victims. Identity theft occurs when someone uses a person’s financial or personal information without permission and takes control over their existing accounts, opens new accounts, or commits crimes, such as fraud, using that person’s identity. Recent studies from the Federal Trade Commission estimate that 9 million Americans have their identities stolen each year, meaning there is a good chance that you or someone you know will become a victim of identity theft, if you or they haven’t already. Victims can end up spending massive amounts of time, money and energy trying to restore their good name and credit record—they may not even know their identity has been stolen until it comes time to apply for a loan or credit application. By this time, major damage may have already been done to their credit. Sign up today for your FREE Six Months of Identity Guard protection!

That is all there is to it! First Community National Bank takes Identify Theft very seriously. If at any time you feel that you are a victim of Identify Theft you should report it immediately. Please visit the Federal Trade Commission website at http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/microsites/idtheft to view an online guide regarding steps you can take to protect yourself against identity theft. Any incidents of identity theft should be reported to the FTC through their online form at the above mentioned website or by calling 1-877-ID-THEFT. As an added measure, you do have an option of placing a “Fraud Alert” on your credit report. The alert tells creditors to follow certain procedures before they open any new accounts in your name or make any changes to your existing accounts. This also allows you free copies of your credit report and enables you to see any inquiries from companies you have not contacted, accounts you did not open, or any unexplained debts on your accounts. The three nationwide consumer reporting agencies all have toll-free phone numbers for placing an initial 9-day fraud alert. A phone call to one company is sufficient to have the alert placed with all three agencies. Equifax: 800-525-6285 Experian: 800-EXPERIAN (397-3742) Trans Union: 800-680-7289
