Identity theft response — without giving GhostKit your identity.

This workspace is an Ontario-focused response map for suspected identity theft, SIN exposure, CRA compromise, credit fraud, stolen ID and account takeover. Enter only what you need to organize your next steps. Do not enter your SIN, passwords, security codes or banking credentials.

STOP: GhostKit never needs your SIN, password, banking PIN, MFA code, recovery code, passport number or full credit-card number. If a person or message asks you to put those secrets into this page, do not do it.

1 · If your CRA account may be compromised

  1. Use the official CRA identity-theft process.
  2. Ask CRA to place protections on the account where appropriate.
  3. Review unauthorized address, banking, benefit and personal-information changes.
  4. Report suspected fraud to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre.

2 · SIN exposed or misused

  1. Do not automatically request a new SIN; a new number is not a universal fix.
  2. Review both credit reports for unfamiliar accounts and inquiries.
  3. Monitor employment/tax information for unauthorized activity.
  4. If fraud actually occurred, obtain a police case number and report to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre.

3 · Credit-file protection

Contact both Canadian credit bureaus, request your reports and ask about a fraud alert if identity theft is suspected.

Use only official sites. Never pay a third party simply because it claims it can “fix” your credit or SIN.

4 · Stolen Ontario driver's licence / ID

Ontario says a lost or stolen driver's licence should be reported to local police and replaced through ServiceOntario. Keep the police case reference with your identity-theft records.

5 · Bank / payment compromise

  1. Contact the financial institution using the number on the back of the card or its official website.
  2. Ask them to secure the account and review unauthorized transactions.
  3. Change the online-banking password from a trusted device.
  4. Do not use a phone number or link supplied by a suspicious message.

6 · Identity-theft evidence sheet

Official Canadian guidance: the federal government recommends contacting your financial institution, credit bureaus and local police as appropriate, and reporting identity theft to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre. citeturn1search0turn1search2
