The Federal Trade Commission estimates that over 10 million Americans have their identity stolen and fraudulently used each year. If your identity has been compromised, take the following steps: Immediately contact any business where an account has been opened and terminate it. Be sure to obtain any case reference numbers provided so that you can provide them to law enforcement investigators. Cancel any credit cards used to make unauthorized purchases. Contact the retail businesses where purchases were made and initiate a fraud investigation with the security department. Again, be sure to note any case reference numbers or the name of the person you spoke with. Call each of the credit reporting bureaus and have a fraud alert placed on your account.
