As the weather warms up, don't let scammers give you the chills. Freeze your credit before they strike.
Jordan Wright with the Better Business Bureau's Tip-Off to the Rip-Off® on WBBM Newsradio has the details.
As we spring forward this weekend, it's also a great time to shine some light on your credit report.
The BBB urges you to check it at least twice a year to catch issues early and make sure your personal information hasn't been compromised.
And if you have children, review theirs, too. Scammers often target kids by opening fake accounts in their names.
Everyone is entitled to multiple free credit reports from the three major credit bureaus. Use them to stay alert and protect yourself from fraud. Visit AnnualCreditReport.com or FTC.gov to request yours.
