▲ 17 r/IdentityTheft
Received this yesterday. 75% sure it is legit. Lost my wallet 6 months ago. Froze everything and got a government pin. Tried calling Macy's and Citibank. Unfortunately they are automated. Tried inputting the reference number for Macy's but then it asked for my SS#. That isn't going to happen.
Not long after losing the wallet I got one of those American Express scam calls. That is pretty much when I realized the wallet was in the hands of bad actors. Filed a police report for the wallet. ChatGPT says I should report this Macy letter to the police, Macy's, and Identitytheft.gov. I'd be good with that except, in my mind, these are thwarted attempts. Advice, thoughts?
