A non-profit that helps victims of identity theft, fraud and scams, free of charge. You can talk one-on-one with an advisor by phone or text, or chat with an advisor on the website.
Good to know
The help page lists what to gather first: an FTC or police identity theft report, a copy of your credit report that shows the accounts opened in your name, and any data breach notice you got.
