I was a victim of identity fraud. Three months ago I received a bill for 499.00 dollars from t mobile. This shocked me, seeing how I was in applying for a phone two months prior, and was denied, due to my credit. Well I'm not sure how it happend, I can be me and get no phone or I can pretend to be me and get two. (go figure). The $499 bill was from someone else using my name, soc. Sec. Number and address.
After fighting with t mobile for a few weeks they admitted they knew I was not responsible. They found out the account was fraudulent and shut it off before I even spoke to them initially. They fixed this error at no cost to me.
Now, once again, the same thing has happened. I have received another bill with a different phone number but with my name and address. Apparently someone has opened another phone account in my name. When this happened the first time I let them know that I would never, ever have an account with them. I said that if someone else attempted to open an account in my name they should send up a flag immediately. How is it I have received another bill for a new account?
