The first step to take when you suspect that you have been a victim of identity theft is to contact your local law enforcement agency or the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). They can help you file a report and provide assistance in investigating the incident. Additionally, it's important to review your credit reports regularly to ensure there are no suspicious entries on them. Lastly, be sure to keep an eye out for any fraudulent activity, such as unexpected bills or phone calls from unknown numbers.
