What ticked me off the most was when I bought an old "fixer-upper" house.
Nobody's living there, but a pre-approved credit card offer was sent there in my name, with space to change the name on the card.
Anybody who got that before I did (why would I check an empty mailbox?) could have changed the name, signed it, and had a lot of fun at my expense.
I now have put a fraud alert on my credit report. Anybody who wants to grant me credit must call my home phone for verification first. Not fool proof, I'm sure, but every bit helps.
