    I’m actively seeking employment in Pennsylvania
    I own rental property in Las Vegas
    I have wives and children enrolled in schools in NC, VA and Canada.

    I am paying for cable internet/TV service for a young lady in Michigan. (Student using their stepfather’s payment info maybe?)
    I shop at some online retailers in England.
    Now, none of that is true
