so western union calls me..
 

and says some russian tried using my old CC number to trasfer 900$. He has my ss#, address phone number and all. Besides the fact I already have a new CC#, wtf can I do to protect myself and how on gods earth could he have gotten that info.

Shoot yourself, because your doomed now

I second that

you're the one in seattle

Hmm that is weird. I would say someone probably hacked into a customer database, but that wouldn't have your ss#

wow that sucks, buy a shotgun

Identity theft is a major problem, I'd be worried if he has your SS#, he can likely get a new CC in your name.

you're the one in new jersey

seems like deepsy hasn't really won in lottery :eek2

ya exactly. only place I'd give my ss# online is to sponsors. but they wouldn't have my cc#. wtf

right over your head eh buddy

call your credit bureau and flag it. so if anyone tries to make ANY applications for credit, you will be contacted and advised first.

i work for visa. i have people calling me all the time taking me for a fool when I know they're trying to pull a scam.

They completely stole your identity-just hope it does not happen again

yes, your witty repertoire blows my mind. literally.

I suggest waiting until he's fully ruined your credit rating and then stealing some else's identity for yourself.

Seriously, I'd talk to a lawyer and at very least inform your bank of this guy. Some serious Russian identity thief is not someone I'd take lightly.

anywhere in particular place I can look for a number? The CC in question is just a debit card, I don't have a real CC.

www.equifax.com

i believe is a credit bureau in the U.S.


doesn't matter if it was just a debit card. he might be making applications under your name for all types of shit without you even knowing. before you know it you have an R9 credit rating.

:eek2

time to see the mad russian.

Good info to know...thanks for informing all of us that is possible.
