Q: How can I best deal with someone using my personal information online in a fraudulent way?
A former colleagued has altered her online banking account with my email and address so they will contact me instead of her.
A: That's odd - why would she want her bank to contact you and to send her bank statements, etc., to you instead of her? Whom is she trying to defraud? - and the fraud is causing them to take what action that will benefit her? And why are you wondering what do to - wouldn't you simply inform her bank?
A: Not really sure how this unusual behavior is injuring you. If receiving email from a bank that you do not do business with is causing you to lose something then contact the bank and tell them what is happening. If the bank does nothing about it the perhaps the best thing to do is to block them?
