Top 10 tips for protecting yourself from identity theft

Top 10 tips for protecting yourself from identity theft
By: The Roseville Police Department 
Identity theft occurs when someone steals your personal information and uses it without your permission, often to open accounts, rack up debt, or even commit crimes in your name. The impact can be stressful, costly, and time-consuming to fix. To help consumers stay protected, the California Department of Justice recommends the following practical steps to reduce your risk and safeguard your identity.
Guard your Social Security number.
Your Social Security number is one of the most valuable pieces of personal information you possess. Avoid carrying your Social Security card in your wallet, and refrain from routinely sharing the number unless absolutely necessary. If your health plan or another card uses your Social Security number as an identifier, request an alternative number.
Outsmart phishing scams.
Scammers often pose as banks, retailers, or government agencies to trick people into revealing sensitive information. These “phishing” attempts may come through phone calls, emails, texts, or even traditional mail. Never respond to requests asking you to confirm account numbers or passwords. Legitimate organizations do not ask for this information unexpectedly. The safest rule: never share personal information unless you initiated the contact.
Strengthen your password habits.
Weak or reused passwords make it easy for identity thieves to access your accounts. Use unique passwords for each account, with at least eight characters that include letters, numbers, and symbols. Store them securely and avoid obvious choices. Strong password practices take effort, but they are far easier than recovering from identity theft.
Share sparingly on social media.
Information posted on social networks, such as birthdates, addresses, children’s names, or travel plans, can be used by criminals to guess passwords or launch scams. Be mindful of what you share and adjust privacy settings to limit public access.
Protect your devices.
Computers, tablets, and smartphones should be secured with strong passwords and up-to-date firewall, antivirus, and spyware protection. Only download software from trusted sources, and avoid clicking on pop-up ads or suspicious links in emails. Keeping your devices updated helps block known security threats.
Shop online cautiously.
Before entering personal or financial information online, verify that the website is legitimate. Look for a privacy policy and check for “https” in the web address and a padlock symbol in the browser. These indicate that your information will be encrypted and better protected.
Review financial statements promptly.
Open and review your bank and credit card statements as soon as they arrive. Report any unfamiliar charges immediately. If a bill doesn’t arrive on time, contact the company—it could signal that someone has changed your mailing information.
Reduce pre-approved credit offers.
Pre-approved credit offers can be stolen from mailboxes and misused. You can opt out of most of these offers by calling 1-888-567-8688 or visiting optoutprescreen.com.
Monitor your credit reports for free.
You are entitled to one free credit report each year from Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. Reviewing these reports regularly helps you spot suspicious activity early. Consider spacing them out every four months for year-round monitoring.
Ask questions and speak up.
When asked for personal information, don’t hesitate to ask why it’s needed, how it will be used, and how it will be protected. If the answers don’t satisfy you, consider taking your business elsewhere.

Criminals are persistent, but informed consumers can be just as vigilant. By consistently following these tips, you can significantly reduce your risk of becoming an identity theft victim and better protect your financial future.

Expect more sophisticated scams in 2026

By: The Roseville Police Department 
 Scams are becoming increasingly convincing, fueled by AI, emotional manipulation, and a sense of false urgency. Criminals impersonate trusted people and organizations to steal money, personal information, or account access. Knowing how these scams work is one of the best ways to protect your finances, identity, and peace of mind.

Common scams to watch for
Impersonation Scams
AI has made it harder to detect fake emails, voice clones, and even deepfake videos. Scammers may pose as your bank, a business, or a family member to pressure you into acting quickly.
Their goal: Access to your money or accounts.
Stay safe:
Verify before you trust. Hang up and contact the organization using an official phone number.
Never share personal or financial information in response to an unexpected call, text, or email.

Romance Scams
These scams continue to grow, with seniors frequently targeted. Scammers build online relationships using fake identities, then request money, gift cards, or “emergency” help. A recent Roseville case resulted in a $1 million loss.
Their goal: Gain your trust to get you to send money.
Stay safe:
Be cautious with online-only relationships.
Never send money or gifts to someone you haven’t met in person.
Talk to a trusted friend or family member before sending funds.

Fake “Fraud Alert” Calls or Texts
Scammers pretend to be from your bank, warning you of suspicious activity. They pressure you to “verify” information or move money to a so-called “safe account.”
Their goal: Gain access to your account or trick you into moving money directly to them.
Legitimate companies will never:
Ask for your online banking password or full debit card PIN.
Request one-time passcodes sent to your device.
Tell you to move money “for protection.”
Threaten to close your account if you don’t act immediately.
Stay safe:
Never share personal or financial information with an unexpected caller, texter, or email sender.
Contact your financial institution using the phone number on your bank statement or debit/credit card.

Online Marketplace Scams
Fake listings and deposit scams are common on platforms like Facebook Marketplace. Scammers push urgency and request untraceable payments.
Their goal: Steal your money.
Stay safe:
Verify listings and messages before paying.
Use secure payment methods with buyer protection. Avoid gift cards and wire transfers.

Final Tips for 2026
Stay informed—scam tactics evolve quickly.
If something sounds too good to be true, it’s probably a scam.
Guard your personal information and limit what you share online.

Criminals are always adapting. Staying alert and informed will put you in a stronger position to protect yourself and your finances throughout 2026.

No Post Office on the west side - but 4 new drop boxes

From Scott Alvord, City Council Member...
Update on Post Office on the west side.
 
Our postmaster lives on the western half of Roseville so several years ago, I reached out to him to find out what it would take to get a new post office out here. He was very helpful, but he had no power to decide himself without the request coming from a federal office. But he explained what was needed.
 
Because postal service is a federal department, I had to start working with staff from Tom McClintock office, specifically Kim Pruett. She's good to work with. I asked what it would take to help get a PO and some blue drop-off boxes in western Roseville and she did some additional research. She got back to me explaining the details, so I talked to city staff, and they worked with Kim to draft a letter for our mayor to sign, formally requesting the new post office. Mayor Krista Bernasconi was all in to help. She signed it, sent it, and then we all waited.
We finally got word back that while our growth probably justified one, it would be very difficult to get one. But we were now on their radar.
But they could get us the blue drop-off boxes.
 
The Roseville Postmaster has received permission from the city and property owners to place new mailboxes throughout western Roseville at the below addresses.  They are also looking into placing more boxes as new developments throughout the city continue to expand.
 
Links to map locations:
1950 Blue Oaks
2310 Pleasant Grove
1771 Pleasant Grove
4080 Baseline
 
I haven't checked the locations to verify that they were installed but they were or will be soon.
Luckily, we have a UPS Store coming to the Plaza at Blue Oaks (by the new Raley's O-N-E).

Placer County Supportive Services Homes

From the City of Roseville, Planning Department...
 
The use of the home in question falls under the “supportive housing” model which is explicitly authorized by California State law. The same law also preempts local governments like Roseville from prohibiting such housing in their jurisdictions.  Supportive housing is defined as housing that is occupied by persons (including those with disabilities and families who are homeless) that are linked to onsite or offsite services that assist the residents in retaining housing, improving their health, and maximizing their ability to live.   This law requires the City’s zoning ordinance to allow supportive housing as a permitted use type in residentially-zoned areas.  The legislation has measures in place meant to regulate the operation of supportive housing to prevent negative impacts to neighborhoods.  While supportive housing is authorized from a zoning perspective, the City of Roseville can still regulate any negative conduct occurring on the property, including but not limited to criminal, nuisance, or building code violations, just as we will with any other property in that neighborhood, should such conduct ever arise.
 
One of the goals of Placer County’s Adult System of Care and Whole Person Care programs is to directly address the local need for affordable housing.  The program meets this goal by purchasing homes, providing supportive services and reducing homelessness. Residents share the home and work with case managers to set individual goals and be supported with life skills to aid their efforts to live independently within the community.  Only the most vulnerable homeless individuals are admitted to this Placer County program, including veterans, elderly, and those with multiple health problems. 
 
Placer County’s Whole Person Care refers clients to AMIH to be interviewed and hand-selected to participate in the program.  Please note that the persons occupying this supportive housing will all be Placer County residents.  Individuals with violent felonies within the last three years and registered sex offenders are prohibited from living in these homes.  Case managers work with the residents daily to address any problems they may be having, and will work closely with the tenants to modify any inappropriate behaviors that result in nuisances to neighbors.  AMIH has pledged to work diligently to be good neighbors and will modify the property as needed to provide more privacy for the tenants and surrounding neighbors. 
 
Please know that the City understands your concerns as a neighbor.  Feel free to contact me with further questions.  You may also contact Placer County’s Whole Person Care program at 530-889-7170 for programmatic questions as they are the Placer County Department running this program.
