Question

I just became aware that a friend used my social security number, name, dob, etc. to open an electrical count in my name without my consent. I'm not sure how this individual received my personal info. Can this individual be prosecuted in the court of law in Florida? What can I do to ensure that this individual receives the consequences that she deserves?

Answer

Your "friend" committed fraud upon you and can be prosecuted. You need to immediately call the police and report this.
