Department of Security >>Identity Theft
There are many different types of identity theft.
Most have one thing in common and that is thieves take some
form of your personal information like social security number,
date of birth, name or a portion of it, address, maiden name, etc. They use
this information to obtain credit cards, loans, property, and
merchandize in your name benefiting from your credit rating.
Federal Trade Commission The Congress of the United States asked the Federal Trade Commission to provide information to consumers about identity theft and to take complaints from those whose identities have been stolen. If you've been a victim of identity theft, you can call the FTC's Identity Theft Hotline toll-free at 1-877-IDTHEFT (438-4338). The FTC puts your information into a secure consumer fraud database and may, in appropriate instances, share it with other law enforcement agencies and private entities, including any companies about which you may complain. The FTC, working in conjunction with other government agencies, has produced a booklet entitled ID Theft, When Bad Things Happen To Your Good Name to help you guard against and recover from identity theft. Attorney General of Florida The Office of the Attorney General of Florida
Victims of identity theft should review Florida's Identity Theft Victim Kit, an all-in-one resource that provides victims with specific instructions for filing a police report and beginning to clear their names.
