To avoid fraud, the Bates County Sheriff suggests that you review your credit report carefully for warning signs of actual or potential identity theft. For example, items that include mention of a credit card, loan, or lease you never signed up for, or requests for copies of your credit report from someone you do not recognize could be a sign that a con artist is snooping around for personal information.
