Sgt. Kay Hughbanks with the Dallas Police Southwest Patrol Division says it is important to take immediate action if you become a victim of identity theft or fraud. Those victimized should make a police report, contact their financial institutions and credit bureaus to report the offense, check into a credit monitoring service, and monitor their credit report weekly.
