Q&A: Protecting against identity theft
Identity theft is addressed
Q: What can I do to help guard against identity theft, and what do I do if I become a victim?
If you become the unfortunate victim of identity theft, immediately contact your local law enforcement agency, the Federal Trade Commission at 877-ID-THEFT, and the three principal credit reporting agencies: Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. The reporting agencies likely will advise you to place fraud alerts on your credit reports. Doing so should prohibit anyone from adding new lines of credit in your name. Lastly, close all accounts and lines of credit that you believe are at risk.
