when criminals obtain a victim's phone number through social engineering techniques

Like every f*cking business demands that I put my phone number on checks, on-line forms and every other thing before they will do business with me.
Just use a credit card or phone pay, you say? They already have your phone number attached to your account and will hand it over to every merchant (or person claiming to be one) that asks.

My trick: The phone number I give out is a land line. Have fun uploading your crappy app to a Western Electric Model 2500. My cell phone does nothing but make voice phone calls. There is no 2FA, BitCoin trading password or other shit on it.

Does the DoJ notify people?

Notify who? The people whose resumes have been borrowed? What are they going to do?

Notify the prospective employers? Maybe. But FBIs counterintelligence unit doesn't typically operate to build court cases. Most of the evidence they accumulate is inadmissible due to the methods of collection. They are more interested in watching foreign ops.
