It may not have been the FAA- I had a call from a credit card company
regarding some fraudulent charges, and they called the same day! Some guy
bought some stuff in a Walmart in Chicago.

That was someone using YOUR card. The OP says someone got a CC using his
personal info. Recall that the topic is how the FAA made his peersonal info
available. Yet, virtually NO CC companies will give a CC without a SSN.

So, it can happen- without reading the whole thread, did you call your
credit card company and dispute the charges?
