Identity Theft

I was the victim of identity theft. Someone got ahold of my social security number and tried to get their utilities hooked up using my number. The ONLY reason that I foun d out about it was because the utility company called me and asked me if I owned this property that the person who stole my id lived at. Needless to say, I was scared. I felt violated, even though nothing really happened. I made a police report and red flagged all of my credit cards and bank accounts. The person who tried to steal is now on my 'evil people' list. If there is one thing I cannot stand, it is dishonest, evil people. The person did not get anything hooked up with my number, and hopefully she , who has probably stolen from others, is in jail now.
