RECOVERING FROM IDENTITY THEFT

Is someone using your personal information to open accounts, file taxes, or make
purchases?

Visit IdentityTheft.gov, the federal government’s one-stop resource to help you
report and recover from identity theft.




DATA BREACH? LOST INFO?

Did you get a notice that says a company lost your personal information in a
data breach? Did you lose your wallet? Or learn that an online account was
hacked? Here are steps you can take to help protect yourself from identity
theft.


PROTECTING YOUR IDENTITY

What can you do to keep your personal info secure? Are identity protection
services worth the cost? What about credit freezes? Check out the FTC’s identity
theft articles to find out.


FREE RESOURCES FOR YOUR COMMUNITY

You can help people learn about identity theft — whether you’re chatting with
friends and family, sharing info on a social networking site, or taking
resources to a religious group or PTA meeting. It’s easy to use and share these
free resources from the FTC.

 * Free Identity Theft Resources
   Free booklets — in English and Spanish — can help people in your community
   protect their identity and recover if an identity thief strikes.
 * IdentityTheft.gov Presentation
   Use this PowerPoint to show how IdentityTheft.gov makes it easier to report
   and recover from identity theft.
 * IdentityTheft.gov Video




FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT

Local police can help identity theft victims by:

 * encouraging them to create an Identity Theft Report and get a personal
   recovery plan at IdentityTheft.gov
 * sharing free identity theft resources from the FTC
 * taking a police report if asked. Some businesses require a police report to
   remove fraudulent debts from a victim's account.


FOR ATTORNEYS AND ADVOCATES

The FTC’s IdentityTheft.gov can assist attorneys who counsel identity theft
victims. The site provides victims with a personal recovery plan, walking
through each step to take. It also provides pre-filed letters and forms to send
to credit bureaus, businesses, and debt collectors.


FOR BUSINESSES

Many companies keep sensitive information about customers or employees in their
files or on their network. The FTC has free data security resources — including
free publications, videos, and tutorials — to help businesses of any size
protect their customers and meet their legal obligations.
