Identity theft can happen to ANYONE. It is a serious crime. It can disrupt your finances, credit history, and your reputation. It can result in financial losses and take time and money to resolve. Identity theft happens when someone steals your personal information and uses it without your permission. When the crooks have your personal information they can create credit cards and identification cards with your information to make large purchases or finance automobiles, without you even knowing what they are doing. Identity thieves may get your information by stealing your mail, purse, or wallet, going through your garbage, or stealing your sensitive information from a place you do business with. Identity thieves may also call you on the telephone posing as an official such as an IRS agent and try to get you to provide personal information, or by hacking into your computer.

If you are a victim of identity theft start with the Identity Theft Recovery Plan brochure below. You may also send a report to the District Attorney's office by filling out the Identity Theft Questionnaire on the right.
