Ok so I just found out someone has my SS# name address and has been opening phone accounts. So far AT&T was the only one to confirm for sure that they were successful. I pulled my 3 credit reports and saw they also have inquiries from Nextel/Sprint and some company called nTelos. I am waiting to hear back from their fraud departments to see if they were successful. Ntelos verified there is an account there with my social but the addresses were different. The first credit inquiry was on the 19th of January and there have been 3 more. Two for the Ntelos company.
I found all this out because I got a bill in the mail for $554 bucks from AT&T. I have filed a police report and waiting for them to generate a number. I have a lock on my TransUnion credit report check, but need the police report to file the others or else pay more money which I may do. I have to figure out my options. I called my bank and nothing fishy there so far. I will be calling all my credit cards very soon as well and getting alerts put on.
What else can I do and what am I doing wring if anything. I am also thinking about Lifelock or something to protect myself for the next forever.
I put alerts on all my credit cards and wife is doing the same just in case.
Also it looks like they are setting up only phone accounts and not actually purchasing phones. Anyone know what the scam is or what they are trying to do?
I HATE ****ING THIEVES! Help me SVTP!!
