Hi!
I was not sure where to post, so I figured I would post here and hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.
I am currently enrolled in a real estate class. The first night the teacher asked if we would mind giving out our phone numbers so we could call other people in the class for "Study Buddies" Everyone said not a problem. In the next class the teacher handed out this list of phone numbers.......not a problem right........WRONG! Not only did this list have our Name, Phone number, & address is also had all of our SS#s on it! We were all horrified and told her that she had just handed out our SS# to 25 strangers! Her comment was ...its not a big deal, everyone cross out that part? Are you kidding? She also realized that one student wasn't on the list so she brought more copies this time everything was labeled across the top in spreadsheet form!!! She had so many copies many people brought home 5 or 6... I brought home 4 and my sister also had 4 copies (so this would tell me that she made a ton of extra copies)
What do we do? Identity theft is rampant and now 25 strangers have multiple copies of my SS#. I am not necessarily concerned about the people in class, but what if they misplace their lists and haven't crossed all the SS numbers out?????
PLEASE HELP! I am at a loss for what to do! Please forgive any typing errors I am totally frazzled!!!!!
