Foil identity thieves by staying alert
Suze Orman
Identity theft has been the top consumer fraud complaint lodged with the Federal Trade Commission for seven years straight.
Here's how to avoid becoming a statistic:

• Scour your accounts. Someone either gains access to an existing account or poses as you to get a loan or open a new account. To protect yourself, closely monitor your accounts for anything fishy -- a charge you didn't make, a withdrawal you didn't take out. Spend a few minutes each month reviewing your statements to make sure your accounts haven't been invaded. If you spot a problem, call customer service immediately.
• Check your credit reports. Most likely, you have a report on file at one of the three major credit bureaus: Equifax (800-685-1111), Experian (888-397-3742) or TransUnion (800-888-4213). If an identity thief has opened any accounts using your personal information, it will show up in your report. Get a free copy of your records from all three credit bureaus every year at www.annualcreditreport.com  or 877-322-8228. You can receive them all at once or request a report every four months to monitor your accounts throughout the year.
If you have children, run the same check using their Social Security numbers.
• Make life harder on would-be criminals. Placing a fraud alert on your credit report can slow down thieves. An alert serves as a signal to potential creditors to be extra careful granting any new cards or loans on your account.
But it's important to understand that alerts don't force the creditor to go the extra mile to protect you; they're merely a suggestion. You can put a free 90-day alert on your accounts by calling one of the credit bureaus, which is required to send your request to the other two. It's up to you to renew your alert every three months.
• Freeze out thieves. A security freeze is the most powerful way to protect your personal information. To put a freeze on your credit reports, you must contact the three credit bureaus separately in writing. Unless you've been victimized, there may be a charge to put a hold in place.
And because it keeps prospective creditors from looking at your accounts, they won't have access to the information they need to grant new loans or issue new credit cards. And be aware that a freeze locks you out, too.

The Huvaere Group is proud to announce the addition of 2 new sponsorships under the Huvaere Group banner: Wahoo Offshore Racing, and The Unheard.

Wahoo Offshore Racing was the 2006 Offshore Racing World Champion as well as the Class 2 OPA, OSS and POPRA Merrick World Cup Champions, and is based out of Richmond MI.

They will be competing in 10 races up and down the East Coast.

The Unheard emerge from just outside of Detroit with a sound that is riff induced and vocally charged that captivates from the ring of the very first chord. The Unheard is vocalist Kenny Allen, guitarists Steve Zornes and Wally Filipiak, drummer Gino Canale, and bassist Sharkey Finn. The band is all about the live show with unmatched attitude and charisma comparable to Led Zeppelin.
“I’ve seen you guys this past year a few times and you guys are blowing people off the stage. If you haven't yet, you gotta see these guys, they're one of the best bands in Detroit!"-Doug Podell (Program Director WRIF Radio)
The Unheard has packed and continues to sell out some of Detroit area's biggest non-arena venues; The Emerald Theater, Hard Rock Cafe, Royal Oak Music Theatre, The State Theatre, and Freedom Hill. They have also opened for national acts including Sponge, Crud, Saliva and 7 Mary 3 and have won over audiences all over the Midwest with their undeniable hit songs -- comparable to Nickelback, Three Doors Down, Audioslave, Shinedown and Velvet Revolver.
