The Identity Theft and Assumption Deterrence Act makes it a violation of federal law to steal or misuse someone's personal identifying information. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) encourages the public to report any suspected violations of U.S. federal law. Therefore, if you have been the victim of an identity theft incident, you should contact the FBI field office that is located nearest you. For a complete list of FBI field offices, visit the FBI's web site.
After you have made an initial contact with your local FBI field office, you can then send this letter as a follow-up. With the letter you can send documents verifying the identity theft incident and request that an investigation be conducted. The letter will also insure that the FBI has all of the necessary contact information.
If your theft incident involved the use of the internet, you can also file a complaint online at the FBI's Internet Fraud Complaint Center (IFCC).

To whom do you report identity theft and hackers?
It depends on what kind of identity theft you're talking about. If someone has opened accounts in your name using your personal identity, it would show up on your credit reports and you should file a police report with your local jurisdiction. It should also be reported to the Federal Trade Commission at 877-ID-THEFT. Identity theft occurring over the internet or using the internet should be reported to the FBI, as the internet is federal jurisdiction. You can reach the FBI's Internet Fraud Complaint Center (IFCC) at www.ifccfbi.gov. That site acts as a clearinghouse, directing complaints to the proper authorities and agencies. Identity theft occurring through the US mail system should be reported to the USPS Postal Inspector. There are local offices in every state. People whose social security numbers are being used can usually make a report to the local police, though that report is generally for records purposes and only provides the victim with a case number to prove they've been to the police. They need to also report the identity theft to the Social Security Administration and the IRS, because payment of taxes is often affected.
