10:28 a.m. A woman reported that someone opened a store credit card in her name and used it.

The woman recently received a collection letter concerning a past due amount of $420.27 on a Sears credit card. The woman said the account is different from her actual Sears account. She said the Seattle address on the fradulent account was old, and she hasn’t used it since 2006.

She was unsure at which store the card had been used, and what it was used to purchase.

Sears told the woman the store would take care of the fraudlent charges on the account, and she would not be out any money. An officer spoke with the woman about her credit history and she said she’s already contacted the credit bureaus and put a flag on future credit requests.
