<prompt> Human: Hello reddit,Please explain if this sounds legit or not. Little back story, my girlfriends mom has a gambling addiction and has taken loans from her 401k. After borrowing so much money from my girlfriend, she couldnt take it anymore so we decided to find a place together. Now were leasing a townhome and her mom is asking for our least agreement which shows how much we agreed for rent. I dont want to give it up but her mom is saying it shouldnt hurt me when I file for taxes or anything. Im 25 and I am not knowledgeable on this stuff. Please reddit, can you let me know if this is legit? I wouldnt think you would need any info like this for taking another 401k loan out. We asked for proof its for voya but shes stating its over the phone. Her mom keeps saying that my girlfriend is a beneficiary and something about hardhip. Please help me understand this, I dont want to do anything that will cause issues in the future. Thanks!  <response>: gambling addictionthis is where i stopped reading.

You should go read this:And take the appropriate steps to make sure that:- a there is no ongoing identity theft- b future identity theft will be made impossible much, much harderIdentity theft from a family member is really hard to deal with, not just legally, but also personally. I would strongly recommend to take the steps to prevent it before it even happens.
