Something was left on my door, like an official piece of cardboard paper. It says it's from the U.S. Office of Personnel Management Federal Investigative Services. The note on it says, "It is necessary that I speak with you regarding an individual who is being considered for a position of trust with the U.S. Government. Your comments regarding this individual's fitness and suitability would be greatly appreciated." It also has the name and phone number of an investigator on it.

If you don't know of any friends who were applying for a job with the government, then I guess I would say pretend like it never came.
If you want to see what it's about, maybe call the number and ask.
Unless they said something like "It's imperative that you respond", then I'm sure it's alright if if you didn't call or anything.

They're not after you, they just want to ask some questions regarding that person. [ MikeCFT's advice column | Ask MikeCFT A Question ]
