Keys Takens, Car Stolen, Later Found with 50
SSNs
3 men were in my house at which time I noticed,
after the men left, that my entire key chain was
missing. Two days later, my car was stolen and
later located in Glendale, Arizona and is now
stored at a facility in Phoenix. There was a crack
pipe and 50 social security numbers and a catalog
of many credit card scores and credit card numbers
in my car when I begged someone to check for any
of my personal items. I was shocked that the man
at the storage facility was going to "throw them
away". I contacted the detective in Glendale
Arizona who has since retrieved the catalog and
paperwork but she told me that they are "just
victims" on the paperwork. Two detectives at my
local police department are unable to trace the
person(s) who have been using my various credit
card numbers and obtaining a Sprint cellular phone
with my name and all other information. They said
there are "no records" of the 3 men in my house on
3/11/04. It is now 5/26/04 and the ID detective
said "everything leads back to me and he will stop
the investigation" after he contacts Wells Fargo
as someone has been paying the Victoria Secret
purchases from an account that is not mine.
An Identity Theft Victim's 17 year old.
Perpetrator Facing Judgment
I am a recent victim of identity theft. A Sprint
Cellular bill appeared at my home. A 17 year old from
Maryland was able to obtain a Sprint phone and access
number from another criminal. He randomly entered my
Social Security number and was able to open an
account. I was told by the Sprint Fraud person "why
are you worried? Someone took me for $70,000, yours is
only $230.00." That excellent customer service was a
comfort within the hour of finding out I was a victim.
I was told no one would want to pursue this small
amount. If I had listened to authorities, I would have
let it drop, waiting for the next attack. Instead, I
obtained a copy of "my" statement after waiting 30
minutes in a local Sprint Store. When I returned home
I found a copy of another person's Sprint contract
with her signature and phone number. After tracking
352 calls by reverse look-up, I was able to compile a
list that I forwarded to the Police. Thank Heavens
there was one detective who was willing to help. The
juvenile was apprehended after 6 weeks and now will
face judgment.
Employer's Employee
Listing Facilitated Identity Theft
The company I work for recently was in the market
for another company to buy part of the service
business. They provided an employee list with
names, addresses and phone numbers without our
consent. Also, last month the Philadelphia police
department arrested two individuals using credit
card numbers of a number of employees. In the
perpetrators car, the police found an employee
list containing some 60 names, address and Social
Security numbers of fellow employees which
included mine. When the company was informed they
initially denied it was obtained from them. Two
weeks later they acknowleged it was STOLEN and WE
should take steps to protect ourselves.
Cell Phones and Student Loans and Civil
Judgments, Oh My!
I recently discovered that I have been a victim of
ID theft for quite some time. I cannot believe
that it has not come to my attention sooner. I
received a phone call from Qwest wireless' fraud
department. They informed me that someone has been
using my Social Security number (SSN), but could
not verify my city/zip and date of birth. He
suggested that I file a fraud alert with the
Credit Reporting Agencies (CRAs) and get a copy of
my credit report. I have done so, and they arrived
Saturday.
The person has been using different permutations of my
name and has several civil judgments against me,
several cell phone debts, a student loan, and numerous
leases that he has skipped out on. I am about to make
a phone call to my local police to file a report, I
have contacted the cell phone companies to notify them
of my dispute, and don't know where to start. I have
been told by a agent from the student loan company
that I should go to a CRA and file paperwork on EACH
line of my credit report disputing the bad info. I
plan on doing that probably Friday. Where should I go
from here? How do I make him stop using my info? Can I
change my S.S.N.?? HELP!!!
Sister Used Credit Card and Her Name for
Committing Crimes
I just got back from vacation in Las Vegas and found
out that my sister has been using my credit card
($584) and has committed fraudulent crimes under my
name. She no longer lives in the same town as me, and
I did not order or receive any of the items that were
charged. I will not pay for something I didn't order.
She is in the county jail serving time for using alias
names, and I am prosecuting.
Also, when I got home last week, I opened all my mail
and discovered that had been denied housing because
she had stolen my identity. I was finger printed today
and am going to fax the information to the Las Vegas
police department. Of all the things she has done to
me . . .
Identity Theft Victim's House has Loans
Against It, Rented out to Tenants
I have been away from the United States since the past
4 years. Recently, I wanted to sell my house in
California and contacted several real estate agents to
discuss with them a listing for the house. I was
informed by these realtors that my house has been
rented to individuals that I am not aware or have
agreed to rent my house. Some one is collecting the
rent amounts on my house, further more I have also
found out that upon checking with our county records a
certain individual has used my name and arranged to
fake my signature , made a power of attorney in my
name and received loans on my property, bought a
business in my name and has accumulated a huge amount
of financial burden on my name. |
