My wife is a teacher and has been employed in the same district for the past 20 years. Somehow, someone has all her information and has applied for unemployment insurance on her behalf. This seems to be a problem happening to teachers in the area (maybe school site was hacked).
Every day she is getting new bank debit cards that she didn’t order or apply for and letters talking about unemployment. She has notified the state and her school but has not gone to the police yet. I think we are getting to that point though.
the worst part is, that she can never get anyone from the state on the phone. When she calls the banks to cancel the account, they want her social security number and phone number on the account. She refuses to give them her ss# and she explains she doesn’t know the phone number because she didn’t open the account. She never gets anywhere with them.
Has anyone been through this? We tried to google the scam and it looks like they try to open all these accounts so they can steal money electronically from banks but not us directly. Still doesn’t sit well with us since it is all in her name. Any suggestions.
