A man on Waterwalk Place told police he discovered two queries on his credit report that were done apparently from someone trying to open up two credit card accounts in his name. One was an account with TBOM Vervent First Access, which he believes is with a Missouri bank with address - P.O. Box 89028 Sioux Falls, SD 57109. The other one was with Synchrony Financial with address - P.O. Box 8726 Dayton, OH 45401. He said they were probably done online using his identity (name, etc). He then got another address - Rossville, GA 30741 and phone number that were associated with the account. He got that info from Transunion when he checked the queries on there. He said that address in Rossville is possibly where the credit cards were going to be sent to, and he has no idea who is doing this.
