Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
I discovered back in May 2020 that someone possibly is using my identity to obtain fraudulent unemployment compensation in Washington state. I filed a online report (twice!) which was the only way they offered to report this due to I guess a flood of reports or lazy ass government (pick one).
They had a auto reply to my report:
"You successfully uploaded your report of fraud. Your confirmation number is xxxxxx.
Next:
We will lock this claim, it will no longer be associated with your personal information.
We will review the submitted information and investigate.
When our investigation is complete, we will send you a letter.
Your patience is appreciated while we conduct this investigation. We will not discuss details of the investigation and will not provide updates."
I never received any updates or letter and pretty much got on with my life since we are retired and don't need to file unemployment anyway. I then realized now that I might get some sort of tax form wanting me to pay money for the stupidity of Washington state. I just checked and I still can't log in using my SS number to their online site because my SS is being used by some email (hidden) that ends in yopmail.com I have never heard of that domain.
Is this going to be a big hassle for me? Can I sue Washington state? Maybe a class action?
