If you suspect Identity Theft here are some of the things that you should do:
1) be extra vigilant and carefully monitor bank statements, credit card accounts, and any statement relating to recent financial transactions; and
2) if you suspect suspicious activity, request credit reports from Equifax (1-800-525-6285), Experian (1-888-397-3742), or TransUnion (1-800-680-7289), Close any account that has been tampered with or opened fraudulently, File a police report with your local police, and File a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission on their Hot Line number (1-877-438-4338).
You may also post a Fraud Alert in your credit file and this will last for 90 days. A Fraud Alert will require Credit Card companies to contact you before a new credit card account can be created. You can call any of the credit reporting companies noted in item 2) above and they are supposed to contact the other two.
We will Never forget you...
