Identity theft
I received an email today that is the perfect example of why I created this site.
“Thank you for using Stimulus.Virginia.Gov.
Your submission, confirmed below, has been received.
Giving Back
Project ID # – 3460 : Giving Back

I obviously did not submit this proposal nor did I misspell Government. And yet, now I am on a governmental record for doing so. It seems like this group – of all groups should understand more about checking and verifying posts and identities before adding me to spreadsheet. I suppose at least they sent me a copy of the email. I sent an email complaining to the contact listed. I’ll keep you posted.
UPDATE: UGH they responded but now I get one of these one an almost weekly basis. I think they have something major screwed up in their database system.
