For almost a year we was (still am) getting calls from a bill collector, right name but wrong person, then I started getting mail from bill collectors again, right full name, when they have called I refused to give social security number to confirm my name but then she confirmed my email address (I never gave to them) associated with the right name wrong person.
In February we was visited by a sheriff deputy's looking for a person with my name, full name is right but the birthday off by a month, my drivers license SS card and passport saved the day still took a little over a hour. The same month I had another deputy come to the house and had to go through the whole routine by this time I am becoming worried, I gone down to the sheriff office and had a talk with the sheriff, that ended the visits for now.
Last Saturday, we was on the freeway, an accident occurred in front of us, we pulled over later a state trooper asked for our IDs and statement, 20 minutes later he came back and said there was a warrant, I ask the trooper to confirm the name after I presented my CCC, SS card and passport, less then 30 minutes later he came back and apologized. We find out another person with the same name almost the same birthday in the same county, it's NOT identity theft it's just simply a person with the same name (unrelated) with similar profile. Lisa does a search and finds his FB page and notices I have family members that friend'ed the person, they was mistaken in thinking it was me, apparently they didn't look at his pictures or read his wall nor communicated with him on FB. Very unsettling! Drivers license doesn't seem to be good enough anymore and looks as if I need to carry my passport all the time, damn sad.
