For a while, I had this grocery store constantly calling me to discuss an account. When I got back to them, they said that my "wife" had written a bunch of checks there that had bounced and they were looking to collect. Well, as it turned out, I wasn't married to anyone nammed Juanita and as a matter of fact, I wasn't married at all !!! The woman used my last name, address and phone number on the checks. Luckily it wasn't linked to any of MY accounts. I assume she just pulled a random name and address out of the phone book to register the checking account. How she got this past the bank that gave her the checks, I'll never know.
