Your details and everything? The company has to be big, yeah? Wonder how many more people had fraudulent investment accounts opened up at Vanguard. Find some more information out, and maybe get some investigative journalism going. This is something that shouldn't be happening. So I had a Betterment Roth IRA. And I didnt like how they were doing over the past 5 years or so since Ive had them, so I decided to open up a Vanguard account a week or two ago. However, I couldnt open one; the website kept saying to call. I called and they said my SSN was tied with someone elses name and address. To prove I am who I am, they told me to send in a W9 IRS form. I did that last week. I guess once they verified it was fraudulent, they corrected the error --- https://i.imgur.com/XNEdLrJ.png <cite>IdiotMachine posted [p:974688337] in Uh wtf? So...

For whatever reason they think the best way to resolve whatever this is was to send you the money. They ain't gonna make that decision lightly. They know how difficult it could potentially be to get those funds back. Doesn't hurt to be safe but it sounds like you'll be fine. Thinking about it I wonder if Vanguard fucked up somewhere. They can't keep the money so they've forwarded it to you and if any victims come forward (there could be several) they'll just pay them out of their own pocket. --- A Fallen Mascot <cite>Punished_Blinx posted [p:974691376] in Uh wtf?
