| We
are alerting you that a number of PBGC employees and contractors
have had their credit cards stolen over the past two months.
Many of the credit cards were stolen from purses that were
in desk drawers in private offices. After the cards are stolen,
they are immediately used within Washington DC, Maryland and
Virginia. Thus, it is likely that someone who has access to
PBGC office space is stealing the cards and passing them to
others on the outside.
This is a crime of opportunity. We ask that you maintain the
security of your purse and wallet, by either locking it up
or keeping it on your person. Do not leave your wallet in
a coat pocket, in your briefcase, or inside an unlocked cabinet
or desk.
Let's
all be careful and more security conscious. Please do not
allow others to "tailgate" into your suite. If someone
is in your office area that you do not recognize or appears
to be wondering, please ask, "May I help you?" It's
a polite question and, indeed, you may be able to assist the
person in locating an office - or you might deter a crime.
If you
have recently been the victim of credit card theft, please
contact one of the OIG investigators, Special Agent Cornelia
Green at x3315 or Special Agent Tom Zigan at x3104, or you
may contact me at x3877. |
