Identity Theft Spikes After Disasters; Tweet Free Prevention Info

Daily Real Estate News | Tuesday, June 19, 2012

Where natural disasters strike, scammers, including identity thieves, are sure to follow — by phone, offering “assistance,” or because home owners’ important documents are blown by high winds into their grubby hands, according to HouseLogic.
 
Help home owners avoid that fretful fate by tweeting a free article from the REALTOR® Content Resource on how to protect yourself from identity theft after a natural disaster.
 
If your area hasn’t recently been hit by a disaster, you can still help home owners be prepared. Tweet (or post to your blog, website, or Facebook; add to your e-newsletter; email; or brand, print, and hand deliver) four more articles from the June “Prepare for a Disaster” theme. Or just search the REALTOR® Content Resource by keyword or topic for other content ranging from home improvement and maintenance to taxes and finance.
 
While you’re adding REALTOR® Content Resource materials to your marketing communications, be careful not to download photos or videos on the site. The REALTOR® Content Resource doesn’t have permission to allow others to use them, and owners of the images actively search online — and charge violators for — unauthorized uses.

The REALTOR® Content Resource is brought to you by the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®. With it, you can download free home ownership content from HouseLogic to your marketing materials.
 
HouseLogic is a comprehensive consumer website — from NAR — geared to helping home owners make smart decisions to enhance, maintain, and protect the value of their home.
