ID Theft

Question

Hello Community,

Just wanted to see if anyone here has ever had an issue with having an account opened up with Verizon fraudulently in your name?  How did your case get handled and what was the overall outcome?  I have this issue as of current and so far find it very frustrating and feel more like the criminal than the victim.
