I’m glad you posted this. I have seen it on other lists, but if you’ve ever been a victim of i.d. fraud, it can be quite devastating. I was, bigtime, and it’s horrible One person actually went to jail because I went to court. So, everyone be careful. Hope everyone is well, and please stay inside with this bad quality air and the fires that are burning. Please stay safe..
