<prompt> Human: I hope this is the right place to ask, but just recently I was appying for a job and they ran my credentials. When my social came back, there were two names on the list, mine, and someome else in California. I looked into it initially, even called the police department to which I was told if no fraud is being committed theres nothing they can do. I get errors when trying to start a tax report that wont allow me to proceed, and just recently I cant add funds to my PayPal because of it. What do I do to rectify this problem?  <response>: As someone else said, go to SSA in person.Take with you your original Social Security card, birth certificate, passport, and whatever other original proof of identity documentation you have. Also, take in a different sense notes while you are there. Name of person helping you, their SSA ID number if any, their office location or department, etc. You want to be able to prove you went there and reported this. Sometimes paranoia isnt all bad.
