Weird situation. My mother is very toxic, we no longer have a relationship. Live in different states. I moved last year, did not give her my new address. I did give my brother my new address a couple months ago as he wanted to send something for my birthday.

He texted me a screenshot from a creditwise app. Said my mom got this alert that her SSN is connected to my new address (which she should not have). He said she's fallen for a lot of scams lately but wanted to make sure I didn't have any knowledge of this before he acted on it. I'm an adult with a good job - I didn't use my mother's name, let alone her SSN to obtain my ​apartment.

Is this some kind of scam? We have the same uncommon last name. I'm unnerved by this. Brother says he did not provide her my address.
