I recently returned to my address after spending ~4 months outside of the country. Upon returning I noticed a mail from Wells Fargo regarding a checking and savings account. I have never banked with them (boo WF) and so immediately called them. I lodged an ID theft complaint and had the account closed. I confirmed it was opened two months ago, using my SSN. I also had a bunch of letters from the NY DOL, which looked like someone might have been trying to get verified to claim unemployment in my name. It looks like I got multiple notices, so maybe they wre not successful in doing this? In the meantime
I have also:
- Frozen credit reports at all three major bureaus + innovis
- Requested my chexsystems report (I didn't see the WF account on it)
- Froze my chexsystems report
- Filed a report with the FTC
- Reported the fradulent unemployment claim to the NY DOL
Is there anything I can do if other accounts have been opened?
