Yeah. It was T-Mobile.
They purchased a pre-paid Verizon phone. According to Verizon, they don't do any real checks when you buy a pre-paid phone because you're not technically getting an "account". So once they bought that phone they some how convinced Verizon to trigger an inter-carrier transfer. From what I was told by T-Mobile, there's no real verification done for inter-carrier transfers because they assume the requesting company has done their due diligence checks.
With that being said, I am getting this info from phone lackeys, so I don't know what the real process is.
I did verify with Verizon that they didn't have my SSN in their system anywhere, but I still can't guarantee that it wasn't a full identity theft. I treated it like it was and reached out to all of the credit agencies, the local police, the FTC, etc. and got everyone involved in it.
