Identification (ID) Theft

 

 

The Texas Attorney General has produced a new Identity Theft Victim’s Kit (click here) that can help you with the process of recovering from the identity crime committed against you.  This kit outlines six specific steps to take and provides vital contact information you will need to address the effects of identity theft. 

 

In addition, the Texas Attorney General has created a new website for identity theft --- www.texasfightsidtheft.gov .
The Identity Theft Hotline is (866) 720-8100 or (800) 252-8011.  This new website has a lot of good info plus, it has related web links regarding identity theft.

Elsie Kennedy, who lives on my street on Morgan Ann, called me and said that someone had stolen a check payment that she was mailing off,  out of her mailbox.  Then, they tampered with that check and ended up writing a check on her account.  She did file a police report.  The police say that they believe that the one doing it is a white male, age 30-35.  Thought you might want to send this information on to the others.
