Identity Theft

So Lisa sends me an email saying that a letter has arrived from Telus, asking me if I want to to switch plans on my Pay & Talk phone.

I call Telus and verify that, other than my name and address, there is nothing on the account that matches my information. So someone bought a cell phone and gave them my name and address. There's no big risk -- my credit card isn't attached to it or anything, but it's very weird. Now I have to go into a Telus store with the letter and some ID and have it deactivated.

This is weird.
