Try to find out what kind of check they did. Sometimes statewide checks need a release, and sometimes you can have a name-match only with someone who has a crim record a mile long.
I'd think you called my company, only we don't do any checks for Target.
They had to have a copy of my soc. card and driver's license for proof I was me before they agreed to release the report to me and the report I got in the mail has my information for here in Ohio and when I lived in Kansas. Does that help identify what kind of a check it was?
Did they order a county-level check, or a statewide? It all depends on what Target wanted the company to check; some just want one county checked for criminal records, some want criminal, civil, global terrorist watchlist, education and employment verification all for one person. And the security measures are standard, since background checks have some serious personal information on them.
I wouldn't worry until you run a credit report. Look for anything that seems fishy.
Also, the high risk for fraud doesn't mean anyone has done anything with your SS#, it just means that there's a discrepancy--in this case, that two different people claimed the same number. And this other person may have made a genuine mistake or someone she gave the number to (like the DMV or something) typed it in wrong. None of this should have any bearing on your criminal record check, unless there are felonies involved.
Have you tried freecreditreport.com? According to the law you're supposed to have free access to your credit report once a year.
I'm being told it could be a glitch/accident by either said person or even just the computer or whatever that runs the search. Whatever it is it's giving me a headache and running me in circles and I think I've been unoffered this job.
Duuude. That freakin sucks. I'd kick her ass to hell if I ever met her. How long has it been since you worked at the grocery store place? Did they do a background check there? I hope they get it worked out so you can take the job, I'm pretty sure you've never committed a crime. Nothing major, anyway.

The name of this place escapes me at the moment.

I haven't, I was thinking about doing that to see if anything else popped up.
Thanks for all the info.
