If your bro confirms he did not open that account, I urge you to notify anyone you feel may be vulnerable or any member of your family that it's possible that someone is targeting your family for identity theft. Let us pray that it's NOT your man but regardless of who it is, the others should be forewarned.

If your bro did not open the account, please do all you can to help him close it and report the violation.

ID theft is horrid and if it's not taken to it's knees...and quickly, it can follow you for YEARS.

The government has some good sites with info:

http://www.consumer.gov/idtheft/

http://www.usdoj.gov/criminal/fraud/idtheft.html

follow the link about "what to do if you're a victim"
