[Fredslist] Fraudulent unemployment claim in my name

[Rich Slomovitz]

Hi, All.  I found out today that someone filed an unemployment claim in my name.  A Team’s HR manager received the standard notice of claim and alerted me to it.  They contacted NYS and I filed a fraud report with NYS Unemployment online.  I’m under the impression that to file a claim, the fraudsters would have needed to have my social security number and possibly my NYS driver’s license number.   I already had my credit freezes in place prior to this and just ran a credit report which came up clean.   Does anyone have a connection in the NYS UI division where I could find out what information was provided?  I was thinking of enrolling with Lifelock or Identity Guard (which the AICPA has a discount plan for).  Any thoughts on that or other steps that I should take?

Thanks!
Rich
