TAKING STEPS AGAINST FRAUDULENT BEHAVIOR

If you suspect fraud or are experiencing identity theft etc., contact LACERS so we can flag your account and take additional measures to safeguard your account. To protect yourself from fraud, the major credit agencies offer the ability to freeze your credit which prevents new credit accounts from being opened. Even if you do not suspect fraud or identity theft, it is a good idea to consider a credit freeze for the extra protection it brings. Learn more on our website.

CHECK YOUR INBOX!

Have you noticed that LACERS’ monthly eblasts don’t go straight to your Primary inbox? Make sure to check your Promotions inbox, as our eblasts have likely been sent there. Some potential workarounds to receive the eblasts to your Primary inbox include moving the LACERS email to your Primary inbox and adding lacers.me@lacers.org to your contact list. You can also always find the information on our In the News webpage.
