Identity Theft Tip ...
To help avoid identity theft, when ordering your bank checks instead of putting your first and last name on them, have the bank put just your first initial and your last name. This way if someone steals your checks they won't know what your first name is and they won't know how to sign the checks. If it isn't signed correctly the bank will catch it. - Eleanor E. Spring-Magnani - SpringAction Fraud Elimination - IdentityTheft.li 516-944-5194
