Unsolicited debit cards have been opened in the names of people in Pittsburgh, West Mifflin, and Upper St. Clair, according to police.
Cindy McGovern is a Clairton resident. Several people in her office received cards as well.
“Today, there were at least 30 people in that bank, right? There are people from all over, including those from the municipalities, the Mon Valley, and the South Hills “According to McGovern.

A request for a response from MetaBank has gone unanswered.
People can contact their bank, the three major credit reporting agencies, and their local police department, according to Pittsburgh police.
