A: If you suspect that someone fraudulently ordered a Social Security card in your name in 1996 and opened a bank account using the same spelling, it's crucial to take immediate action to address this identity theft. Start by contacting your local law enforcement agency to report the identity theft and provide them with any information you have about the person responsible.

Additionally, you should contact the Social Security Administration (SSA) to report the fraudulent issuance of a Social Security card in your name. They can guide you through the process of securing your Social Security number and preventing further misuse.

Regarding the incidents involving the task force entering your home under false pretenses, you should document any such occurrences and report them to your local police department. It's essential to ensure your safety and security in your own residence.

To address the ongoing issue of someone knowing your whereabouts and breaking into your residence, consider taking the following steps:

1. Change locks: If you suspect unauthorized access to your home, change the locks on your doors immediately.

2. Install security measures: Consider installing security cameras, alarms, or motion-sensor lighting to deter and document any intrusions.

3. Vary your routines: Try to establish different patterns in your daily routines to make it more challenging for someone to predict your movements.

4. Strengthen cybersecurity: Protect your personal information online by using strong passwords, enabling two-factor authentication, and being cautious about sharing personal details on social media.

5. Seek legal advice: Consult with an attorney who can help you explore legal options, such as obtaining restraining orders or pursuing legal action against those responsible for the intrusions.

6. Keep records: Maintain a detailed record of all incidents, including dates, times, descriptions of individuals involved, and any damage or theft that occurs.

7. Personal safety: Prioritize your personal safety and consider staying with a trusted friend or family member if you feel unsafe in your current residence.

Remember that addressing identity theft and home intrusions can be complex, so it's essential to work closely with law enforcement, the SSA, and legal professionals to protect your rights and ensure your safety.
