Mona Terry @ITRCCOO@Experian A10) 👻 Ghosts aren't the only ones who like things cold! Give identity thieves the chills by freezing your credit with all three bureaus. You can also freeze reports used to open bank accounts! Not sure where to start? The ITRC can help for free! #CreditChat
Mona Terry @ITRCCOO@Experian A9) 🎃 On Halloween, we hand out candy to strangers in costumes without thinking twice. But online? Different rules! Scammers dress up as people and orgs we trust. The trick is the disguise. The treat? Knowing to verify independently before handing anything over! #CreditChat
Mona Terry @ITRCCOO@Experian A8) 😱 Identity theft can feel like a nightmare! But Freddy (the Fraudster) doesn't get to write the ending. YOU do! First, contact the ITRC for free help. We'll help you prioritize what matters most to you in that first week and build a recovery plan together. #CreditChat
Mona Terry @ITRCCOO@Experian A7) 🦇 Even Batman can't protect all of Gotham in one night! Long, unique passwords and MFA are often overlooked. The next time you log into an account, make sure both are in place. One account at a time, you'll make your digital Gotham a little safer! #CreditChat
Mona Terry @ITRCCOO@Experian A6) 🧛♂️ Vampires don't just lurk in castles, and your identity doesn't live in one place either! It's in your email, accounts, devices, and more. Keep an eye on all of them, not just your credit. After all, identity thieves don't always leave just two little marks! #CreditChat
Mona Terry @ITRCCOO@Experian A5) 🧙♀️ Double, double, toil and trouble! Be careful what goes into the AI cauldron! Passwords and logins don't belong in the brew. Before connecting apps or accounts to AI, check what you're giving it access to. You might be adding more than you intended! #CreditChat
Mona Terry @ITRCCOO@Experian A4) 🪄 Welcome to Defense Against the Digital Dark Arts! Your best protection isn't one powerful spell, it's layers of defense: unique passwords, MFA, and limiting what you share and connect online. Even Hogwarts has more than one protective enchantment! #CreditChat
Mona Terry @ITRCCOO@Experian A3) 🧟♂️ Zoinks! AI makes it harder than ever to tell who's behind the mask! But you don't need the Mystery Machine to solve this mystery. Skip the detective work and go straight to a trusted app, website, or verified phone number. #CreditChat @Experian @IDTheftCenter
Mona Terry @ITRCCOO@Experian A1) 🕸️ The web we weave online can get pretty tangled! Take a look at what (and who!) is connected to your apps, accounts, devices, and AI tools. The fewer unnecessary connections you have, the fewer places for something creepy to crawl in. #CreditChat
Experian @ExperianQ10. Before we vanish into the mist, what’s one tip you’d give someone to make their personal information harder for scammers to use? #CreditChat!
Jim Katzaman - Get Debt-Free One Family at a Time @JKatzamanA10a Make scammers work harder: share less, protect what matters with strong passwords and MFA, keep an eye on accounts and credit, and verify unexpected requests independently. A few seconds of skepticism can prevent a much bigger problem. #CreditChat

John Breyault @JammingEconoA9) A "trick" people fall for far too often is blaming themselves for being victims of professional criminal scammers. You can "treat" yourself by recognizing that no one is "too smart to fall for it," and showing empathy for the victimized. #CreditChat @ncl_tweets
Experian @ExperianQ8. Identity theft is a real nightmare on Fraud Street. If someone discovers their identity has been stolen, what should they do first, and what should they do in the first week? #CreditChat
