Anyone had the wonderful experience of identity theft???
My HR department notified me today that someone put in an unemployment claim in my name. It had my name, partial ssn, company and other assorted details. I'm very careful about putting anything online or giving out info about myself so I don't think I was hacked/scammed by phone but who knows how these azzhats got this info. HR reported it as fraud and gave me instructions on what to do. (1)File an identity doc with IRS using form 14039 (2)Report the fraud to one of the three credit reporting bureaus (they are required to report it to the other 2 bureaus) (3) Report it to MD's Department of Labor (4)File a report with local police (5)Report to US Department of Labor (6) Report to company HR, IT and Security departments (6) Sign up for identity theft protection..Lifelock or other companies..
Anyone gone thru this??
