I find it scary too. I recently received a rather large medical bill in my name with my address on it, but the ss# and b-day do not match mine. When I called the clinic to tell them it wasn't me and that I'd never even been to that clinic, they said it sounds like a case of identity theft. But in order to prove that it isn't me I have to send them copies of all of my personal information, such as driver's license and ss card. That makes me more than a little uncomfortable, and I'm still trying to figure out a way to prove it's not me without having to provide copies of my life!
