Identity theft and loss of money to scammers

What to do if you supplied personal information to scammers
If you have supplied banking details, a large amount of personal information, and copies of your driver's licence and passport to the scammers, then you may become a victim of identity theft. For details on what to do, read the information about identity theft published by the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) or check identity-theft.org.uk/ if you're in the UK.

What to do if you already paid money to scammers
Unfortunately, there is probably very little you can do to recover any money you have already supplied. However, you should inform your local law enforcement agency as soon as possible!
