Hired as tech for a private investigator. They mostly did cheating spouses or insurance fraud.

Second day I walk in to get started in my new office. Told I'm let go, don't disclose why, something about my background report and a "state police matter".

Never been in trouble. Never been arrested. I was so confused. So I pull my own records. Nothing.

My last name is common in Portugese/Brazilian areas. They had mistaken me for another woman, same name as me and of similar age, who had quite a lot of bad behavior.

I wonder how reputable they are if they didn't think to not only cross check the ages or go by last four of the social but, at least the state police weren't investigating me.

Which would explain why they were confused when I called them hysterical asking if they needed me to come in for questioning.
