- First, never carry your social security card on you at anytime. Call Social Security Fraud Dept toll free @ 1-800-269-0271. Then put the account on fraud alert through Trans Union Fraud Dept. Their toll free # 1-800-680-7289. They will notify the other bureaus for you at no cost. It has to be renewed every 90 days. Call the library and cancel the card. They're give you a new one. Also cancel the video game card. Better to be safe than sorry later.
