Fraud Alert, Identity Theft and Active Duty Alert

If you believe you have been or are about to become a victim of fraud or related crime, including identity theft, or you are notifying of your Active Duty Status, and you have had ever had a background check performed on you by our company, you may contact us at (800) 300-1821 extension 199.  You will be asked to provide proof of your identity and additional information (or you may be provided a secure link to an online) to complete your request.  Upon completion, we will include a fraud alert in your file until you have contacted us to remove.  We will also provide notice of this alert via mail to the credit reporting agency if one was used to fulfill your background check. But we recommend you also contact those directly as provided in the Additional Resources section below.

In addition to reporting to proper authorities, below are six authorities you should contact for identity theft recovery and to report your identity theft case, depending upon the type of fraud that has been committed:
