ID prepaid card Fraud or scam Arizona

I received a Prepaid Debit card in the mail with my name on it from a company called " NetSpend ''. The letter that came with it explained how to active it and the costs. I was very upset that the card was created with my name and put in the mail. Even though this card was " prepaid '' it had my name on it. Anyone who received it could have used it to establish credit in my name. I called the company to ask them to take me off the mailing list and how they got my name? An automated recording started and asked for the credit card number ( which I destroyed so I did n't know it ) or my SSN. How would they know my SSN? The call was then answered by a person. I asked the customer representative about it and he stated I was n't in the system. I asked him to remove me from their mailing list and make sure there is no account with my name on it. He stated I was n't in the system. If I was n't in the system how did I get issued a prepaid credit card? I asked to speak to a supervisor and waited over 10 minutes which the representative said was still busy and I should try to call back later. I am very concerned this could lead to identity theft. I still do not know if this company has an account with my name open or if it has removed me from the mailing list.
