I got a debit card from MetaBank/MoneyLion in the mail, correct name and address, but I did NOT apply for an account with them. I did not activate the card, and found the support number on their website. Customer service opened a case and told me they'd email me an affidavit that I'd need to have notarized and return. They couldn't tell me anything about the account (which state it was opened in, if there was money in it). They also said they couldn't cancel the account until I returned the requested info to their fraud team.
I get the email from their fraud department a few days later and they are requesting the following, along with the affidavit:
**A copy of a Police Report stating that you are the victim of Identity Theft**
**A copy of your valid and unexpired Driver’s License or Government Issued ID**
**A copy of your Social Security Card**
Excuse me, but I never requested this debit card to begin with. I am not going to give them any more of my personal info. Is there a way I can report this/have the account closed without dealing with them directly? I live in Kansas, if that helps.
