TIP OF THE WEEK

Report identity theft and get a personal recovery plan at

IdentityTheft.gov
Millions of people are affected by identity theft each year. It might start with a mysterious credit card
charge, a bill you dont recognize, or a letter from the IRS that says you already got your refund even
though you didnt.
If someone uses your information to make purchases, open new accounts, or get a tax refund, thats
identity theft. Recovering from identity theft often takes time and persistence. Thats why todays
announcement from the FTC is a big deal: New features at IdentityTheft.gov make it easier to report and
recover from identity theft.
When you use IdentityTheft.gov to report a problem, youll get a personal recovery plan that:

walks you through each recovery step

tracks your progress and adapts to your changing situation

Pre-fills letters and forms for you.

Check out this new video to see how it works:
