> elaborate ploy to steal my identity Unless you think the idea is that are going to clone you, pod people style. Nobody can steal your identity, what they seek to do is defraud a bank or credit institution, you aren't really involved besides them incidentally using your name to do so. I wouldn't worry about it unless you get a bill or have something wrong on your credit report.
