Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel is sharing ways identity thieves will try to trick people into giving out their personal information.
Her latest Consumer Protection video is part of Nessel's informative and humorous series focused on educating Michiganders.
Residents should always remember:
. Never give out personal information over the phone or online unless you're certain you can trust where it's going.
. Thieves may use social media profiles to gather information before contacting you to appear to be someone you already know.
. Don't post photos of credit cards, checks or other personal information online that could be used to steal your identity.
. If your identity is stolen, it's important to act quickly.
Michigan Identity Theft Support (MITS) was launched by Nessel in April as part of a continued commitment to support and protect Michigan consumers.
The videos are posted periodically on the Department's Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram accounts.
Additional resources are always available by visiting the attorney general's Consumer Protection webpage (www.michigan.gov/ag).
