Understanding your rights and the necessary steps to take is crucial in mitigating these impacts.
Early Detection is Key
To protect yourself, be vigilant for:
- Unfamiliar charges on your bank or credit card statements.
- Missing bills or other mail, which could indicate address changes by the thief.
- Notices from the IRS or other government agencies about unexplained transactions.

If you become a victim:
- Alert Your Financial Institutions: This can help prevent further unauthorized transactions.
- Contact the Credit Bureaus: Place a fraud alert on your credit reports.
