4. A member has to be the one who actually reports identity theft incidents to the police; we help them locate a police station nearby and guide them through the process. Police departments in some states will not take a report for cases of identity theft, in which case an “Identity Theft Report” is made through the FTC and used in its place for substantiating the incident to certain creditors and other relevant entities.
