Fraud alert?

I received an alert that states a new phone number added.... it was my family's phone number when I was a teenager & young adult, and is over 10 years old! Last valid probably 8 or 9 years ago. Is this something fishy going on or just a really old account that happened to report for some odd reason?

 

I didn't even HAVE any credit back then... except for 1 account that was attempted for me at a department store (my brother's girlfriend used my info at a store she worked at to give herself a boost at her job). It was denied... I was like 18 with no credit at all. What's up with this?

Call customer service and see if they can tell you who reported that phone number.
