On the address part, it was almost laughable. I gave her my current address and she said "I show something different". I said "You have my old Ohio address then, is it street or PO Box?" and she is like "What is the PO Box number?". I honestly wasn't sure which they had last as that would be the "current" address... but she gave it up way too fucking easily. Because if I was not me on the phone, and I was sitting there with a list of someone's info and I had five possible addresses, narrowing it down to a PO Box is pretty damn helpful. Too helpful.

Who you worked for, who you have had loans with, where you went to school, who your student loan lender was, etc... all stuff that the IRS gets and puts on those nice little transcripts. Once you get that, you've got everything you need to do real damage.
