Cybercriminals can use hidden dark web sites to make illegal purchases of personal information that can be used to commit identity theft or other crimes. Unfortunately, many people would have no idea what to do should their identity be stolen.
Identity Restoration Specialists help you each step of the way should you discover you're a victim of identity theft. Our knowledgeable specialists can help you evaluate and address your identity fraud claim with their expertise, and they know the steps to take and calls to make with you to help resolve the fraudulent activity.
We monitor the dark web looking for personal information, such as email addresses, driver's license number, phone numbers, bank account numbers, and more. If exposed, this could be used to commit identity theft or other crimes. We notify you through our easy-to-use app or website and advise you on steps you can take to help protect yourself.

Here is some helpful information to assist you in resolving an identity theft (“ID Theft”) situation as well as help you protect your personally identifiable information (“PII”).
  1. Contact the institution where the ID Theft is suspected to have occurred. Advise them that you are a victim of ID Theft and ask them to provide you with the process and action items needed for disputing fraudulent accounts.

  2. File an incident report with your local law enforcement. As a victim of a crime, you have the right to file the report within the jurisdiction you live in. You may also wish to file a report with the Internet Crimes Complaint Center (IC3), which is managed by the FBI. (United-States)

  3. File a Victim’s Complaint and Affidavit with the Federal Trade commission.
    You can do this at IdentityTheft.Gov. (United-States)

  4. Review your credit report from the three major credit bureaus.
    Credit Bureaus, known as credit reporting agencies, are companies that collect, store and maintain information about you in order to produce a consumer credit report. In the United States, there are three major credit bureaus: Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion.Review your credit report from the three major credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion) carefully to review accounts and determine if there may be additional ID Theft or errors on your report. You may also want to order additional reports, as detailed in the sections outlined below. In Canada you can contact Equifax and TransUnion. 
  1. Be sure to document and keep copies of every action taken.
    The institution may ask for documentation of your claim to assist in investigating the fraud. Items they request may include proof of your identity in the form of a copy of your driver’s license and/or social security card, any complaints you’ve filed regarding the fraud or proof of residency establishing that you were not residing where the fraud occurred. If utilities were established at a residency other than where you reside, showing proof of address will assist in the process.
