    Hello,

There was some discussion about identify fraud on this list some time back, and the topic came up again for me now that a friend had her purse/wallet/checkbook stolen over the weekend.

Does anybody have a link to information about what steps a person should take to minimize the risk of identity fraud after an event like that?

There seems to be plenty of advice out there about what to try if you think you have already been a victim, but I'm wondering if there are any best practices to follow after your purse/wallet/checkbook has been stolen.

Thanks in advance for the replies.

Greg
