[quote=Anonymous]My googling turned up this article about a woman who had an experience similar to mine.

We contacted Wells again, and it said a review of its records showed Steele wasn't a victim of identity theft.

"Wells Fargo has determined an isolated internal error resulted in the wrong address being inserted in the bank's computer system," a spokesman said. "Wells Fargo is identifying the reasons for the internal error and taking steps to insure such an error does not occur in the future for any customer."

The spokesman said for privacy reasons, he couldn't explain what action was or wasn't taken with Jane Doe.

We then turned to West Caldwell Police Chief Gerard Paris.

He said his officers found Jane Doe and determined the wrong address was a mistake -- not attempted fraud -- but that Steele was right to be concerned.

"If someone was using my address and they were doing it on purpose, it could rise to the level of fraud," Paris said. "There's an identity theft concern."
