Victims should alert their banks and credit card issuers immediately and may wish to put a one-year initial fraud alert on their credit report; this will make it harder for someone to open up credit in their name.
To do so, contact one of the three major credit reporting agencies, who will then share the information with the other two agencies:
- Equifax: 800-525-6285 or www.equifax.com
- Experian: 888-397-3742 or www.experian.com
- TransUnion: 800-680-7289 or www.transunion.com
