I think an acquaintance had her identity stolen when an employee used her SSN to get a credit card; she was eventually caught. I've had my identity stolen, but from a bank account number and later a credit card number - not lost or stolen, but somehow obtained in another state.Elizabeth Saundershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01616212913975457786noreply@blogger.com
