<human>:  I have a lot of questions about identity theft and what I should do if my identity is stolen.
<bot>: The best thing to do if you think your identity has been stolen is to contact the relevant authorities as soon as possible. This includes your local police station or the FTC's Identity Theft Hotline. You should also inform your bank, credit card issuer and other financial institutions you work with, as well as any other organisation with which you hold an account. Additionally, it is a good idea to review any recent transactions or changes to your credit report to ensure that no fraudulent activity is happening. Lastly, you should consider implementing additional steps to protect your identity such as setting up a fraud alert on your credit report and taking steps to set up stronger passwords for all your online accounts.
