Unauthorized insurance quote

[BERNIE MOSFET]

I just received a phone call from GEICO about an online insurance quote that I hadn't requested. Somehow my name got tied to a Lawrence Gregg in the quote, using his address and presumably his vehicle and one of my email addresses and phone number.

The guy on the phone said it wasn't unusual for people to get calls about quotes they hadn't requested, but it was unusual that two separate people would be mixed up like this. He seemed very perplexed about it all.

Anything to worry about?

NOPE, someone is just a very shitty salesman that doesn't understand how the databases gather/match information.... and that is certainly not 'common' but you have nothing to worry about

I would worry; that screams identity theft to me. Insurance comanies tend to ask for quite a bit of sensitive information so yeah I'd be worried. I definately notify my bank. I think you can put some kind of alert or freeze on your SS number I cannot remember how to do it.

Ok, thank you Kim.

That's what I am worried about. I had a few odd registrations from the email address on the 17th, and now this. I'm not sure what's going on.
