Immediate Steps You Should Take

1. Secure Your Accounts

  • Change passwords for all important accounts, especially banking, email, and government services.

  • Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) where available.

  • Review recent account activity and report suspicious transactions.

2. Report the Fraud

If you are based in the UK:

  • Report identity theft to Report Fraud via their website or by calling 0300 123 2040.

  • Inform your bank and any affected financial institutions.

  • Contact credit reference agencies (Experian, Equifax, TransUnion) to request a fraud alert on your credit file.

  • Report to the police where financial loss or criminal misuse has occurred.

If you are outside the UK, contact the relevant authority in your country.

How SQR Handles Identity Theft Reports

All identity repair cases are handled under SQR’s documented identity repair and incident management procedures.

Verification

To ensure we are assisting the correct individual, we may request:

  • Proof of identity (for example, a government-issued ID)

  • Details of the suspected misuse

  • Evidence of reports made to Action Fraud or financial institutions, where applicable

Investigation and Remedial Action

Once verified, we will:

  • Review account access history and system logs

  • Assess whether misuse occurred within SQR’s service

  • Take appropriate action, which may include resetting credentials, suspending the account, or restoring legitimate access

  • Confirm the outcome of our review

Requesting Evidence

If identity misuse is confirmed within SQR’s systems, you may request written confirmation to support your recovery process.

This may include:

  • A formal statement confirming unauthorised access (where evidenced)

  • Confirmation of actions taken by SQR

  • Relevant account activity information where legally permitted

To request this, email Support@SQR.ID with the subject line:

Request for Identity Theft Evidence

and include your case reference number.

Account Recovery Process

If an SQR account has been compromised, we apply additional verification controls before restoring access.

This includes:

  • Uploading alternative identity evidence different from the document used at onboarding

  • Verifying the new evidence using our standard verification process

  • Linking the new evidence to the original onboarding record and associated facial biometric data

  • Suspending the account where necessary before re-verification

This ensures that only the rightful individual regains access.

Cooperation with Authorities

Where appropriate and legally required, SQR provides information to relevant governing bodies and law enforcement agencies.

Preventative Measures

To reduce the risk of identity misuse:

  • Use strong, unique passwords

  • Enable two-factor authentication

  • Monitor your credit file

  • Be cautious of phishing emails

  • Contact SQR directly if you are unsure about any communication claiming to be from us
