Identity Theft

What to do if you fall victim:

  • If you have disclosed sensitive information in a phishing attack, you should also contact one or all of the three major credit bureaus and discuss whether you need to place a fraud alert on your file.
  • This may help prevent new accounts from being opened in your name.
Here is the contact information for each bureau’s fraud division:
Report all suspicious contacts to the Federal Trade Commission through the Internet at www.consumer.gov/idtheft, or by calling 1-877-IDTHEFT.
