If your toddler starts getting collection notices from telephone and gas services, don’t think that it’s a result of them trying to ‘pitch in’ and help pay the family bills. It’s sadly much more likely that they are a victim of identity theft. According to the AP, this is what happened to a 3-year old girl. A 44-year old man in Mebane, North Carolina allegedly abused her Social Security number.
What brought this to light was the girl’s grandmother contacting the authorities after the family started to get collection notices to in the toddler’s name. But it wasn’t a total sticky fingered stranger, apparently the suspect is a related to the girl. Let’s here it for family, glad they're not mine.
