She was told to provide that information to the police department when she receives it, along with e-mails from the unemployment office.

The second similar report was made to police two days later, approximately 5 p.m. Jan. 14, when the victim called police to make the report. This victim had also been alerted to the situation by her employer through an e-mail from the human resources department asking whether she had filed a claim.

She said she had not and her company notified the unemployment office of that fact. They recommended a follow-up by filing a complaint with the FTC and her credit agencies. She followed that advice and made the police report.
