Where do identity theft victims turn for help? Victims turn to their local police or the Federal Trade Commission (FTC)—and, now, IdentityTheft.gov.

IdentityTheft.gov is the U.S. government’s one-stop resource for reporting and recovering from identity theft. It lets victims file identity theft complaints with the FTC and receive personal, interactive recovery plans based on their specific identity theft incident. The FTC works to protect and educate consumers on a wide variety of issues including financial fraud, privacy, and new forms of deceptive advertising. We also have a longstanding relationship working with local law enforcement to combat fraud. Now, we’re excited to join forces with the IACP and police chiefs on a new project: combating identity theft using IdentityTheft.gov.
