Tax season means that a lot of personal identifying information is being sent via the mail. Traditionally running from January through April, tax season also tends to bring a spike in mail theft. Help prevent mail theft by collecting your mail daily. If you are traveling, ask a neighbor to pick it up for you or ask the Post Office to hold your mail until you return. Also, consider signing up for USPS Informed Delivery service to receive an email daily with images of the items scheduled to be delivered to your mailbox. Should you become a victim of mail theft, this information will help you target who you need to contact to protect your identity and help limit further future fraud.
