Vitalchek My Private Info, including Social Security number, sent to a STRANGER!! Ordered a Birth Certificate through Vitalchek. Internet

This company sent my birth certificate, including all my most private info, with Social Security number, to a stranger!! I got a call from a stranger in Oregon (I am in New England), who also ordered a birth certificate from Vitalchek. They got an envelope addressed to them, but with MY certified birth certificate inside. Thank God it went to a decent person, who called my cell phone number, which was with my info inside. They are going to mail it to me. Now, they don't know where their birth certificate is, as they have not received their correct one.

If this info had gotten into the wrong hands, someone could easily steal my identity with it!! It seems pretty ridiculous that I had to get a notarized authorization form sent to the state of CA, proving I was who I am, in order to have the birth certificate issued. And then, it ends up getting sent to a total stranger!

This company should be put out of business!! The internet is full of complaints about them. I only wish I had done my research before using them! DO NOT trust them with your vital, private info!
