New Resource for Identity Theft Victims


Are you worried that your personal information has been stolen, due to a data breach at a bank or store? The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has created a new one-stop website -
https://www.identitytheft.gov/  - to help you determine if your identity has been stolen. For example, here are some of the warning signs of identity theft:
  •   You get a bill from a medical provider for a service you never used.
  • You find unfamiliar charges on your credit card.
  • You don't get your bills or other mail.
If someone has stolen your personal information, Identitytheft.gov provides a step-by-step list of actions to take to regain control of your identity.
