In an increasingly common ruse, scammers are using change-of-address forms in order to obtain driver’s licenses under the identities of others. First they troll phonebooks for the names and addresses of target people.

Then, using bogus documents to establish residency at the &quot;new&quot; address, they ask the DMV to issue a new license—perhaps they say the old one’s been lost. Pretty soon a license bearing your name and picture is mailed to your home—and then diverted to another address where the scammer picks it up.

And, of course, all your other mail is going there too—checks and credit card statements included—which the scammers would find very interesting as well. The good news: Once a change-of-address form is submitted, the USPS sends a verification letter to both the current address and the new one. “That letter asks if the change-of-address request is appropriate and directs you who to contact, usually your local post office branch, if it’s not,” explains Peter Rendina of the U.S.

Thus far, this scam is most prevalent in New Mexico, state authorities say, with dozens of Albuquerque residents, many living in the 87111 ZIP code, having received puzzling USPS verification notices. It’s also happening in Texas.
