I opened the statement from the bank I have a savings account at, and they sent me someone else's statement. Our account numbers are apparently very similar. They have the same digits, just not in the same order (like if mine ended with 102, theirs ends with 201, that kind of thing).

So now what do I do? Do I send the statement to the address listed on the statement I got with a note "sorry, the bank screwed up and gave me your statement, and by the way, do you have mine?", do I contact the bank and close out my account before any damage can be done to it? I wonder how many other people this happened to, and HOW? I mean, I realize it's a tiny credit union, but even so, they shouldn't be making this type of mistake. And whereas I wouldn't do anything with knowing someone else's bank account number, that doesn't mean that someone else won't do something malicious. Should I contact the bank, and just ask them to give me a new account number? This is madness.
