Assuming you're in the U.S., contact all three of the credit reporting agencies (Equifax, TransUnion and Experian).

It may not actually be Identity Theft if the only evidence is the employment record. Someone at the employer's office may have just typed in an incorrect SS number. If you know the name of the employer, try to contact them and ask them why they're using your SS#.

Regardless, contact the credit reporting agencies and tell them what's happened. They may be able to provide you with information about the employer and help you get it straightened out.
