Synchrony Financial Credit Card Complaint

Synchrony Financial Credit card department,

Identity theft / Fraud / Embezzlement California

I received a letter from Synchrony Bank notifying me that an account was opened with Walmart. It states " Since the address and/or first-last name on the application did not match the address and/or first-last name contained in the consumer credit bureau report, we are writing to you to confirm that the account was opened at your request. '' I called Synchrony and the rep tells me if the information did n't match we would not have opened a card for you ... let me look. He says, Oh! you 're right it did get opened. Then he asks if I applied for TJ Maxx and American Eagle? I said no. Oh those were approved too. I said, if the information on the application does n't match my credit report then why was it opened? I 'm not quite sure. I find it a little concerning on my part that this credit card company is randomly opening accounts without thoroughly checking to see if the information is correct.
