 TITLE: How to Report Identity Theft CONTENT: Report Identity Fraud to the FTC\n--------------------------------\nThe first stop to reporting identity theft is the Federal Trade Commission. The FTC has a designated identity theft website that offers step-by-step instructions to help victims reach mediation. The site allows users to report incidents of identity theft or follow up on specific types of data theft situations, such as data breach, tax fraud or stolen information. The site will then give you the opportunity to file an identity theft report, which is used by law enforcement agencies in their investigation. END
