If you do your free yearly pull of credit reports from all three
bureaus, anything opened using your social security number will show
up. If you don't see any surprises there, you're fine. If you do, you
should track down the company that the account is through. If it's not
something you opened, contact them, give no info other than who you
are, and find out what it is and when it was opened and where. If
necessary, report the fraud to... I think the FBI, other than the
group the account is with and whatnot. Since you're you, you should be
able to close the account, or at least report fraud and they should
freeze it. A simple google of what to do in the even of identity theft
will tell you all you need to know.
