1st let your sister know "NEVER" give out any personal information. What the company can be doing is what is known as "PHISHING". They are compiling and gathering information. Previously I worked in a collection company. They used systems that had important information about a customer. If they are in use of those types of systems, with just your address they can see what automobiles are registered (make, model, year, colors), people showing at the residence, dl registrd. ect. What I would do for starters is go to "free credit report.com" and request a copy of your credit report. You are intitled to 1 free credit report a year. Also, you may want register w/one of the credit protection agencies such as debix.com or lifelock.com. I have seen too many people where there credit was ruined and they were not aware of it until they attempted to make a purchase or apply for a new credit card. They only time you should ever give out any personal information is when you contact a company directly never from a call made to you. Just recently there was a gentleman that applied to disibility benefits in New York however, he was denied! He was told that he made too much as a flight attendent. This man had not worked in years! They NY police contacted the police dept in Miami, Fla. They arrested the flight attendant after a flight that he was working on retuned back to Miami. This man not only was working w/stolen id but, was able to obtain a job of all things "THE AIRLINE INDUSTRY" So much for airport security............ Good Luck!!!!!
