<prompt> Human: Hello everyone and thank you for reading! Sorry if this doesnt belong here, I did read the PF rules and hope I am not breaking any.Unfortunately a few days ago I was hit by identity theft. The thieves managed to contact my phone provider and disable my Wifes and my SIM cards. Shortly after they accessed my online bank account, changed my password, and did a direct transfer of 2500. I was sitting at my computer at my time so I was able to regain control of my Bank account. Shortly after that they were also able to access my Wives online account and attempted a transfer there as well. I was able to disable all cards immediately. We were able to get some friends to come over and lend us their phone to get our bank accounts frozen.Now we are at the recovery stage. We have an appointment with the bank today to get new cards, have our accounts unfrozen and to see if there are any security steps we can take on our accounts to negate the chances of this happening again. I am now looking for advice on what to do next. I created a social security account and have that setup. I was planning to call the IRS to report the identity theft but to be honest I just do not know where to go next. My Dad mention a credit monitoring program like Life Lock. I was hoping this community would be able to help with some next steps for my family and I?Thank you all for reading!  <response>: This could be a family member.
