I 'm a victim of ID theft recently. It puzzled me that the ID thefts were targeting specifically all creditors/accounts we have or had business with. They tried to change contact information, requested replacement cards and tried to open new accounts. I saw in my credit report yesterday an inquiry from Credit Karma from about 2 weeks ago just when all that started to happen to us ( my wife as well ). So, we tried to open Credit Karma accounts for ourselves yesterday just to find out that the ID thefts have done that already with our SSN, DOB, and other information to pass the security questions and therefore we can not open accounts ( accounts are linked to email addresses provided and based on the error messages and email address fragments they are not ours. We do know the fraudulent email addresses used from creditors informing us about fraudulent account opening attempts ). And with accounts in Credit Karma they have free access not only to our credit scores and score monitoring, they also have free access to our credit reports from XXXX and XXXX and with that they have ALL the information needed to pass any kind of security or verification questions to get more reports, open account, or worse could possibly lock us out of our own credit reports. Unfortunately, Credit Karma does not have a phone number listed at all so one could talk to a live person to address this fraudulent issue. They only have an email request portal and we are waiting to hear back from them ( per other user feedback, they are not very good at getting back at people ). And, we have been waiting for 2 weeks now for our local PD to write an ID theft report so that we could take action to place an extended fraud alert or security freeze - can we actually place both? So, at the moment, we are sitting ducks.
