Helpful information and resources to assist victims of Identity Theft to regain control of their financial information.
Residents of Blackstone
Blackstone residents can file a complaint with the Blackstone Police Department to generate a case report number (required by banks and credit card companies) and for the “Identity Theft Packet”. You can come in person to the Police Station or call the (508) 883-1212 and request an Officer come and take a report.
We recognize that some victims are only interested in the correction of their credit and do not necessarily wish to prosecute. In these instances, please submit a copy of this packet to the Blackstone Police Department and make sure to indicate within the Identity Theft Packet that your submission requires no further investigation.
Non Resident
Non-Blackstone residents who are victims still need to notify each of the credit card bureaus, contact personal banks, and/or other financial institutions. The same “Identity Theft Packet” will assist you in filing a complaint with the appropriate Law Enforcement agency.
