41. • Identity theft is a form of stealing someone's
IDENTITY in which someone pretends to be
someone else by assuming that person's identity,
typically in order to access resources or obtain
credit and other benefits in that person's name.
• The victim of identity theft (here meaning the person
whose identity has been assumed by the identity
thief) can suffer adverse consequences if they are
held accountable for the perpetrator's actions.
• Identity theft occurs when someone uses another's
personally identifying information, like their name,
identifying number, or credit card number, without
their permission, to commit fraud or other crimes.

42. What you should do if you are a
victim of identity theft?
1. Put a fraud alert on your credit report by
contacting one of the three consumer
reporting agencies. Having a fraud alert
on your credit report means you will be
contacted for authorization before any
new accounts can be opened in your
name or any changes can be made to
your existing accounts.

43. What you should do if you are a
victim of identity theft?
2. Close the account(s) you believe have
been tampered with. You should cut off
the identity thieves as soon as possible.

44. What you should do if you are a
victim of identity theft?
3. Contact the police and file a report.
Identity theft is a serious crime, and you
should contact the authorities to report the
crime.

45. What you should do if you are a
victim of identity theft?
4. File a complaint with the Federal Trade
Commission (FTC). The FTC works with
the police in matters of identity thefts.
Filing a report with the FTC also helps the
government better track and respond to
identity thievery.

46. What you should do if you are a
victim of identity theft?
• Important! You should move quickly. The
faster you act, the less time the identity
thieves have to take advantage of your
personal information.
