BBB presents the following 10 New Year’s resolutions to fight scammers, prevent identity theft, and save money in 2026. 1. Check Your Credit Report You are now entitled to a free credit report each week from each of the three main Credit Reporting Agencies: Equifax, TransUnion and Experian. You can order the reports through an nualcreditreport.com. Once you receive your credit report, carefully review all the information. If you see any inaccurate information, then you should file a dispute with any bureau reporting the error. Checking your credit report helps you catch signs of identity theft early. 2. Sign Up for the Do Not Call Registry The National Do Not Call Registry gives you a choice about whether to receive telemarketing calls. To add your number to the Registry, you can call 1-888-382-1222 or register online at ftc. gov/donotcall. Registration is free for your home and mobile phone. You still may receive politi cal, charitable, debt collection, informational and telephone survey calls. Also note that scammers don’t adhere to the Do Not Call Registry. 3. Always Read the Fine Print When shopping online, signing a contract and especially for “free” trial offers, be sure to take your time, and read the fine print before handing over your credit or debit card information. Find the terms and conditions for the offer. That includes offers online, on TV, in the newspaper or on the radio. If you can’t find them or can’t understand exactly what you’re agreeing to, don’t sign up. 4. Keep Your Computer Safe Keep a clean machine by installing a firewall, anti-virus and anti-spyware software. Check for and install the latest updates and run virus scans regularly. Don’t open attachments or click on email links unless you can confirm the email came from someone you trust. Choose passwords that incorporate a combination of numbers, capital letters and symbols. Avoid using the same password for all your accounts, and never share your passwords with anyone else. 5. Fight Identity Theft Make sure you shred any documents that have your bank account information, Social Security number or other personal information. These include credit card applications, insurance forms, financial statements, health forms and billing statements from utility services. Be suspicious of any unsolicited communication asking you for personal information. They may really be scam mers looking to steal your identity. 6. Never Send Money to Someone You Don’t Know Many scams require that the victim send money back to the scammers. Scammers know that tracking money sent via wire services and many digital apps is extremely difficult. Even more troubling for victims is the fact that it’s nearly impossible to get your money back. The same goes for pre-paid debit cards or gift cards. 7. Get Everything in Writing Don’t just take a company’s word for it. Get every verbal agreement in writing to limit miscom munication and misunderstandings between your expectations and what the business delivers. Make sure that you read and thoroughly understand an agreement and don't SEE sign a contract with blank spaces that could be altered or changed. Finally, once the SCAMS, contract is signed, keep a copy of it for your records. 7 Enjoy all the holiday flavors at the CHARM BARN 1 • * hristma Flavors When a feisty mountain widow and a guilt-stricken New Yorker collide, both discover hope, humor, and . grace in the most surprising place.
