A: It sounds like you're facing a serious and complex situation. If your identity has been stolen and your accounts with Fidelity are compromised, it's important to act quickly. Start by contacting Fidelity directly to explain the situation, and ask for their fraud department to investigate. Request that they provide you with details about the blocked access and the status of your 401(k). Make sure to document every interaction for your records.

You should also consider reaching out to your local law enforcement to file a report about the identity theft. This report can be critical for any legal action or further investigations. Additionally, you may want to contact the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) again, as they provide resources and guidance on how to handle identity theft.

Finally, it’s important to monitor your credit reports and accounts regularly to prevent further damage. You can also place fraud alerts with the major credit bureaus to protect yourself from additional unauthorized access. Taking these steps can help you regain control and protect your financial future.
