I received a letter in the mail from the Ohio department of unemployment insurance containing a PIN to use when filling a claim, but I never requested a PIN or ever filled for unemployment. Is this a potential form of fraud?
My only guess is that someone attempted to fraudulently file for unemployment benefits using my identity, but either did not realize the requested PIN would be sent by mail to my address, or they hoped to somehow intercept it in the mail.
I'm planning to contact the office to confirm, but are there any well known fraud schemes I should be in the lookout for?
