where can I report possible identity theft?

I am a victim of identity theft due to family members using my social security number they attained when caring for me when I was very young. Contact your local police department and also, contact 1 of the 3 credit bureaus and get a fraud alert put on your file. Keep in mind that doing so, you will have to verify personal information every time you want to open up a new account. The benefit outways the damage that could be done if there wasn't a fraud alert on your credit reports. I believe you could choose to have it on there for 1 year or 3 years. Keep monitoring your credit report and if you have caller id, hold on to that number. I'd honestly call it back and see how the person answers the phone and whether he provides a company's name. You could also google the number as well by doing a reverse number lookup. If its not a business number, I'd definitely contact the police department.

Here is some helpful information: http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/microsites/idtheft/cons...

1. Place a fraud alert on your credit reports, and review your credit reports.

Fraud alerts can help prevent an identity thief from opening any more accounts in your name. Contact the toll-free fraud number of any of the three consumer reporting companies below to place a fraud alert on your credit report. You only need to contact one of the three companies to place an alert. The company you call is required to contact the other two, which will place an alert on their versions of your report, too. If you do not receive a confirmation from a company, you should contact that company directly to place a fraud alert.

TransUnion: 1-800-680-7289; www.transunion.com; Fraud Victim Assistance Division, P.O. Box 6790, Fullerton, CA 92834-6790

Equifax: 1-800-525-6285; www.equifax.com; P.O. Box 740241, Atlanta, GA 30374-0241

Experian: 1-888-EXPERIAN (397-3742); www.experian.com; P.O. Box 9554, Allen, TX 75013

Once you place the fraud alert in your file, you're entitled to order one free copy of your credit report from each of the three consumer reporting companies, and, if you ask, only the last four digits of your Social Security number will appear on your credit reports. Once you get your credit reports, review them carefully. Look for inquiries from companies you haven't contacted, accounts you didn't open, and debts on your accounts that you can't explain. Check that information, like your Social Security number, address(es), name or initials, and employers are correct. If you find fraudulent or inaccurate information, get it removed. See Correcting Fraudulent Information in Credit Reports to learn how. When you correct your credit report, use an Identity Theft Report with a cover letter explaining your request, to get the fastest and most complete results.

Continue to check your credit reports periodically, especially for the first year after you discover the identity theft, to make sure no new fraudulent activity has occurred.

Hope this helps:-)

The FTC has very useful information on what to do if you have been or think you may have been the victim of identity theft
