Will I be a victim of identity theft? Bank of Kenosha’s warning
I received a letter from Bank of Kenosha (Kenosha, Wisconsin) today. Here’s a snippet:
I’ve never done any business with Bank of Kenosha, so needless to say this is pretty puzzling. I checked TransUnion, and sure enough, this inquiry was there. It also knocked off 20 points from my credit score!
While I’m certainly glad that Bank of Kenosha somehow found out that they were reported as having checked my credit history at TransUnion, and that they let me know, this isn’t exactly what I had hoped to see when I got home an hour ago from work.
I imagine it would like receiving a notice that in a class you recently took, someone in the class came down with tuberculosis – leaving you to wonder if you’ll be coughing a fit in a few days. (This actually happened to a friend.)
Have you ever received a notice like this?
