Bank notices that look like junk mail could actually be an alert that your account's address has been changed to somewhere in the Cayman islands, so it's important to check before throwing out the envelope, said Bruce Heiser, an assistant branch manager with Citi Smith Barney in Yakima.
Most of all, people who suspect they are victims of identity theft or other fraud shouldn't wait -- because the problem will only worsen.
"If a situation does develop, confront it right away. Don't be embarrassed," Heiser said, noting that even major financial institutions have been hit by security breaches.
