Bank Crap

I got home from work yesterday and checked the mail.

There was a package addressed to me. I opened it and it was some Vonage crap to set up their phone service. I thought this was a pretty damned expensive direct mail piece. I called them to tell them that I received this but had not ordered it.

They informed me that an account was started in my name for my address.

I then discovered that a charge for this had showed up on my account at my bank.

Once I got the account closed and a fraud case reported with Vonage, I called my bank.

They cancelled my debit cards and taking that charge off.

But what I don't get it why steal my info and sign me up for a weird service?
