Amex CreditSecure alerted me that somebody had opened a collections account with my details, reported to all three credit agencies. Called them, and they were able to see that the originator of the alleged $60 debt was Comcast: A company I have not had any dealings with since 2017 when I canceled my service and paid the final bill from them (and that was just $6).

Disputes filed with all three agencies now; will see what comes of it.

So, when my wife got her passport, the post office conveniently lost her naturalization certificate. When she got a new one issued, the new one mysteriously disappeared in the mail too, even though it was sent certified mail. It seems like there's some organized thing going on in the #Bronx where people are stealing naturalization certificates being sent through #USPS.

@paul @mcnado This is great to know. Thanks for posting. The #phishing #scams are getting more and more convincing, backed up by real/AI people on the phone who know exactly how to manipulate their victims. I know because I was a victim about a year ago. #Identitytheft is a major PITA, and possibly devastating. I was lucky — the baddies were caught in the act of trying to siphon my accounts. Let be me clear about one thing:

TRUST YOUR INSTINCT!

Often, our subconscious recognizes risks and we don’t pay attention to the signals. If just one of you avoids a phishing attack because of this post it will bring us all some peace.
