I'm on vacation and just got 5 emails from different mortgage lenders that are thanking me for my recent mortgage application. They all use a name that's close to my name... but not quite exact. I checked the senders' addresses for these emails and they all appear to be legitimate.
I have no idea how this scam could work... and really have no idea why they would use my actual email address if they're really trying to apply for a mortgage using my identity.
I'm sure I'm trying to get scammed in some way, but I don't understand how I'm getting scammed... which scares me a little bit!
Has anyone heard of this happening before, or have some idea about this scam's goal? What can I do to stop this potential scam?
Thanks!
