I’m sorry also DD. It’s sometimes just a thoughtless click that sets you on the wrong road, I’ve done it also. Recently someone tried to take two 20,000 dollar loans out in my name. I got notified and was able to stop it. I signed up with the credit bureau’s to be notified if anyone tries to open a line of credit in my name. The shitty thing is the people in my case can be found but no one does a thing about it, so this stuff will never end. During the pandemic 3 people were trying to collect unemployment from my business. Names, addresses and SS numbers all right there and the state would do nothing. I found that out from the state sending me a letter saying they were reviewing my unemployment claim. The problem was I wasn’t trying to collect unemployment, unreal!!!!

I’ve had my bouts with Mass. unemployment. People quit, walk off the job, get an under the table job for a year, then collect after 12 months on my unemployment. I told the lady at unemployment to send him back to work with me and she said oh we can’t do that you were his last legitimate employer so he’s collecting on your insurance, driving my costs up…you can’t make this stuff up. There totally against the employer.

Thoughtless click is right! It happened early in the morning. Only one other time my computer was locked and I caught the situation and didn't fall prey. This time I just simply didn't check further because for some reason, I was just a little freaked out. Never again. Thanks, James P.S. I just heard myself say "No shit Sherlock"

That sounds like something that happened to me a couple times a while back. Machine locked up tight on this weird virus repair page. A hard boot straightened it out. I'm just a shade tree computerist, but you might want to remember that.
