 TITLE: While You’re Playing Fortnite, Fraudsters Are Looking to Play You CONTENT: What to Do If You Think Your Identity Was Stolen\n------------------------------------------------\nIf you think you or someone in your family has become a victim of identity theft you should report it to the support page for the game and to the game system so they are aware. If any of your information is compromised, change your password immediately and consider getting a new credit or debit card. You'll want to keep an eye on accounts and even your credit report (you can check your Experian credit report for free) to make sure no fraudulent charges or new accounts show up.\nHere are more actions you can take to help protect your data:\n1.  Add a free fraud alert to your Experian credit report that warns lenders you may have been a fraud victim. This notifies any potential lender to take additional steps to verify your identity before providing any new line of credit in your name. The new nationwide law extends an initial fraud alert from 90 days to 12 months for free.\n2.  Go over your free Experian credit report to make sure that there are not any unwanted accounts opened in your name or using your personal information.\n3.  File an identity theft report with your local police department through the non-emergency number and explain you are the victim of identity theft. They can tell you what information you need to provide.\n4.  If you discover that you are indeed a victim of identity theft, notify Experian to resolve fraudulent activity by speaking with Experian consumer assistance associates.\n5.  Add a seven-year fraud victim alert to your credit report after you have confirmed you are an identity theft victim and have obtained a police report. This notifies future creditors that you have been a victim of fraud, and extra steps need to be taken to verify your identity.\nHere are additional resources to protect you and your kids from identity theft:\n*   What Is Identity Theft?\n*   How to Reduce the Risk of Identity Theft\n*   How to Protect Your Child from Identity Theft END
