OT~ Credit accounts....

[keith smith]

A friend had a problem and he called the local police and they completed a report and did some investigation.

Call the FBI and see how they respond.  Not sure ID theft falls under their jurisdiction. Maybe it does, I just do not know.

I would make a report to the local police first.

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.
