Yes, credit karma lets you know an account has been opened in your name. Then the person giving them the credit is out the money from whatever they bought.
Freezing your credit prevents anyone, even you, from ever being able to open an account in your name. It has to be unlocked to open your credit history in order to buy a car, home or open a charge account.
