Jack and Pam Kilbride are one of the lucky ones.

Their Tampa home didn't sustain any damage from Hurricane Irma.

But the Kilbride's got a letter in the mail from the Federal Emergency Management Agency saying they filled out an application for disaster relief funds.

"It had the last four digits of my social security number, my phone number, my name," Jack Kilbride said. "We pretty much figured out we were the victim of fraud."

The Kilbride's then got a $500 check in the mail from the government, and a FEMA contractor left a note on their door saying she had visited the property.

FEMA spokesman Steven Solomon said to date the agency has handed out more than $700 million to Floridians in need of help after Irma. He said this opens the door for potential criminal activity.

"Anyone who thinks they may have been a victim of fraud should first contact their local law enforcement agency and should follow up with FEMA," Solomon said. "Give us a call at the helpline, or if you prefer face-to-face, step into a recovery center."

The Kilbride's have contacted FEMA and local law enforcement and still don't have any answers. They said they are left with an unsettling feeling that someone out there has their personal information.

"It's very sad and I don't know how far reaching it is, but people taking advantage of bad times is just unbelievable," Kilbride said.
