Social Security Number's Out There
A concerned Arbor Road woman told police Dec. 6 that a health insurance company called to ask her if she was employed by Premier Maintenance in Milford — she's not. The reason why she was called was because her Social Security number was on record at the company, according to the report.
When she called the company, she was told her name is not on record, but they did find an entry in their system with a Social Security number that matched hers, police said, adding the company said it appeared to be a computer error.
Police said there were no unauthorized charges on the woman's credit cards.
