Message: [QUOTE="Fishy, post: 4084010, member: 38"] There’s a scam, mostly in New York state, where someone takes out a car insurance policy on line in your name. Apparently, the act of taking out the policy results in the insurance company providing the scammer with your driver’s license number which they then use to file for unemployment benefits. Out of the blue over the summer, I received a welcome package from Progressive - I called them, was sent to the fraud department and they handled it immediately. The state also flagged the benefit claim, so there was no harm done, but still, kinda annoying. [/QUOTE]
