Identity Theft - Chula Vista. Know this address?

[HARRY CARAY]

So a few weeks back I start getting notifications in regard to new accounts being opened or attempts to open accounts.  Someone was accessing my 401K account and changing my password to it, etc. They had hacked my e-mail account. I've since changed that password and increased security on it. Also opened a new e-mail account with a different host and changed important services to that new e-mail address.

I notified the credit reporting agencies, my investment company, and others that this was happening. Today I receive a call from the fraud department of American Express. Someone opened an account in my name. They had already been notified that this happened once and a fraud alert was supposed to be attached to my account. They allowed it to happen again. I got that resolved quickly. 

Then a little earlier today I receive an e-mail that a permanent change of address for my drivers license was attempted. I live in Illinois. The change came from California. I have the exact address they are using and a phone number. I obviously replied to the state that its not me and that's its a fraud. Haven't heard back yet from them. 

Since so many on here are from that area I was thinking I'd post the address to see what anyone might know. I realize this address is likely not where they actually reside but you never know.... do I post it?

Anyone here know what authorities to contact in these situations. Seems I just get the run around from most.

This really sucks! What else are they doing that I don't know about!

Thanks

This is probably a direct result of mail theft. Does your billing go to illinois or ca? Its not uncommon for these people to steal in cali and pass to an acquaintance  or family in another state mail theft is through the roof past few months. They look for credit card apps or bank/savings statements. There is usually enough information on these mailers to open cards in your name or access your existing account. Get a good armadillo box or a po box.
