"How do you do - my name ain't Sue
For the better part of a year, I've been getting dunning letters from people I never heard of addressed to Susan B--. They allege that this person has a bill for something like T-Mobile for about $1500. Lately I've been getting calls from people looking for Susan B. I always figured they were scams, intended to snooker the easily confused into responding to bills for services one never ordered.
Now I wonder. It could be a kind of sideways identity theft. Just pick a name and address out of the phone book and pretend to be related and living at the same address. But if T-Mobile actually sold services to this phony person, you'd think that T-Mobile would have taken more care to make sure that this person actually exists.
I wouldn't know how that works - I've been using a pre-paid by the minute service for years for an emergency phone. I wouldn't touch a contract service. They cost way too much. I won't even sign up for cable TV. I'd even like to disable the Internet connection on my phone.
I took one of the letters to the Post Office today, and the mailman suggested contacting the Police. The Tulsa Police? They work for the likes of me, do they? They don't even bother to interview neighbors before dragging a person off to local loony bin, or even to get sworn statements from the people claiming to be threatened.
When someone ran into my truck in the Apartments parking lot, and I got parts of his taillight lens and photos of where they fell out of his truck, They couldn't be bothered to do anything because They didn't see it happen, and They don't bother with collisions on "private property".
If I took this to the TPD, They'd probably arrest me for allegedly stealing my own identity. Less work for Them, I'm sure."
