NoScamNC

NoScamNC is a Web site by the Attorney General's office where you go to find out what to do about Identity Theft in North Carolina. You can learn how to protect yourself, steps to take if your ID is stolen, links and resources, and real stories.

One way to protect yourself is to freeze your credit, which prevents everyone, including you, from getting new credit in your name. If you want to apply for a loan or a new credit card, you have to unfreeze your credit first, which is a great way to force yourself to cool down before making a big impulse purchase.
