conversation: User (FaveDranco): "Hello PF,\n\nI recently visited my old apartment (moved 9/1/16) to pick up whatever mail was still sent to my old address.  The usual stuff: bed, bath, and beyond coupons, local flyers, and credit card offers.\n\nWait... what.  Credit card offers.  I'm so used to seeing them, but having the new tenant give them to me was sort of weird.  They are the ones that come with that fake plastic credit card.\n\nSo my question is, can anyone open up a credit card in my name with one of those mail-out offers?  I never pursued it, so I don't know what exactly is required.\n\nThanks!"
