NOTICE OF IDENTITY THEFT

June 2022

 

Our company has fallen victim of identity theft. If you have received any charges from Wholesome Home Living or Wholesome Home Living RAS you also have been exposed to the breach.  The owner nor any employees of Wholesome Home Living have authorized any charges to be made on our behalf. Nor can we make any charges from our site. 

 

What We Are Doing:

We have filed the incident with our local police and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). We have alerted all known parties to reach out to your financial institution to notify them of these fraudulent charges. Going forward Wholesome Home Living has partnered with credit monitoring and identity theft restoration services to help prevent a future breach. 

 

What You Can Do:

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) recommends that you place a free fraud alert on your credit file. A fraud alert tells creditors to contact you before they open any new accounts or change your existing accounts. Contact any one of the three major credit bureaus. As soon as one credit bureau confirms your fraud alert, the others are notified to place fraud alerts. The initial fraud alert stays on your credit report for one year. You can renew it after one year. 

Equifax: equifax.com/personal/credit-report-services or 1-800-685-1111

Experian: experian.com/help or 1-888-397-3742

TransUnion: transunion.com/credit-help
or 1-888-909-8872

Ask each credit bureau to send you a free credit report after it places a fraud alert on your file. Review your credit reports for accounts and inquiries you don’t recognize. These can be signs of identity theft. If your personal information has been misused, visit the FTC’s site at IdentityTheft.gov to report the identity theft and get recovery steps. Even if you do not find any suspicious activity on your initial credit reports, the FTC recommends that you check your credit reports periodically so you can spot problems and address them quickly. 

You may also want to consider placing a free credit freeze. A credit freeze means potential creditors cannot get your credit report. That makes it less likely that an identity thief can open new accounts in your name. To place a freeze, contact each of the major credit bureaus at the links or phone numbers above. A freeze remains in place until you ask the credit bureau to temporarily lift it or remove it. 

We have attached information from the FTC’s website, IdentityTheft.gov/databreach, about steps you can take to help protect yourself from identity theft. The steps are based on the types of information exposed in this breach.

 

Other Important Information:

Please contact your financial institution to notify them of the fraudulent charges.
