*Loan,banking and credit>>>insurance fraud

HELP FRAUD!!!I found out today that someone has been using my social security number to get insurance?

I originally wasn't going to get insurance with my company then i did, but didn't recieve a card. the benefits manager called me back with this info, i faxed her my social security number so she could clear it. i recently got updated credit reports from all three agencies so my credit hasn't been tampered with (that is reported yet). what else should i do to protect myself?

contact your local social security office and alert them - Also you should tell the credit beuras that you want a fraud alert placed on your credit info --- That way if someone does try to open credit in your name the creditors are warned that it could be fraud and are instructed to contact you at a phone # you provide and sometimes they will require you to answer questions only you would know... its more red tape for you to get credit but well worth the peace of mind.... Also, file a police report for your records too,

CALL local Police and FBI
contact the carrier who the insurance is through, see if it's a typo or real identity theft. If it is then file a charge against the person and see if the carrier will give information about who is using it to the police.
You can find out how to file a complaint with the FTC below. Good Luck
