If this was a real fraud, they certainly wouldn't have sent in an application to steal my identity with MY address - they would have used my name and THEIR address. Make sense???

Anyway - I'm still treating it as the real thing and will notify the credit bureaus and change all of my passwords that have any link to money, my address, or anything else that can identify me. What a pain!!!!!
Do also notify the Postal Inspectors - Lady's Human works for the Post Office, but even before that, we grew up with a guy in our church who was a Postal Inspector. He was the lay preacher one time when the regular pastor was on vacation, and showed up in a very nice suit! I commented, and he said, "Oh, yes, this is one of my 'go to court' suits. Whenever we catch a bad guy, I get to go testify to help put him or her away!" and appeared to really relish that part!
