Picking up the mail and saw a letter addressed to me (in MA) but from Ohio, looked somewhat legit but often are junk mail. Decided to open it.
Had my name/address with an official letter from State Of Ohio regarding Pandemic Unemployment Assistance Benefits which states..."According to our records, you applied for and received Pandemic Assistance..."
So I get on it and call Ohio and explain my situation and they had flagged my account as suspicious....not me...them. So I spent half a day contacting the bank, some gov. and credit agencies to confirm nothing else was compromised. All was ok and I did pay Equifax $5 a month to monitor my a/c and I can cancel at anytime but I figure do it for 5/6 months just to be safe.
I guess, thinking about all the transactions on the web and all the data breaches.
