I received information indicating someone opened an credit account using my information. I contacted the local popo who has been great about working this case. Based on the information used, it appears to be fallout from the breach of state records a few years ago.
PSA - Check your credit reports. |

That sucks, do you have any type of identity or credit protection service? Just curious, how can you tell it was from that data breech as opposed to something else? |
| Found out my main credit card (used on gas, groceries, etc., but not gun parts) was compromised. It is part of Capital One, and they are sending me a new card. I watch the account like a hawk, and have seen no fraudulent charges, but they said a retailer that I used was compromised (Target?). Just a heads up. |

I was one of the poor souls who got hit a month ago when Widener's got hacked. Luckily Chase blocked the transaction, around $500, and contacted me. |
