Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 4086621, member: 1414"] So my employer emailed me tonight that a fraudulent unemployment insurance claim was made in my name. They informed the state that I was employed and it was a fraudulent claim if filed against them. They listed things to do next along with another list from the govt at identity theft.gov 1. report the fraud to the state using online form - done 2. file credit fraud alert (freezes for a year - all three) - done 3. Check credit reports - done 4. File police report - tomorrow I suppose. 5. Check, change passwords - mine are pretty solid but I’ll change some. 6. Report to DOJ NCDF - tomorrow I had heard about this and the email from work confirmed that this is nationwide and millions of fraudulent claims have been filed in the last year. This is one of those times where working for a very large company is helpful. I can only imagine that small businesses would have a harder time managing this and responding so quickly. [/QUOTE]
