The victims include Tigard residents, who have filed reports with the Tigard Police Department.

The department recommends residents follow Federal Trade Commission guidelines to safeguard one’s personal information:

  • Know who you share information with.
  • Store and dispose of your personal information securely, especially your Social Security number and birthdate.
  • Ask questions before sharing your personal information.
  • Make sure your computers and other electronic devices are secure.
