To everyone,
I had heard of identity theft on the news, but I have lived my life without too much thought about it. On March 9th, I became an official member of this club. My checking account, my savings account, my overdraft protection, and my home equity lines were all tied together, and someone in China was able to access and empty all of my accounts within minutes.
So here I sit, no money in any of my accounts, my mortgage payment and other outstanding checks bouncing like a rubber ball, penniless, while some f#$%@&% scum bag is out there spending my hard earned dollars.
I have had to contact the FTC to report fraudulent activity using my identity and apply for a new social security card. I have had to cancel my bank accounts, and then go and contact all of those companies that automatically deduct payments from my accounts. I have had to cancel all of my credit cards. This effort includes contacting all three credit bureau's to place a credit alert on my name. I have also contacted the DMV to have my license suspended, and I will have to apply for a new one, so even if I had money in the bank, I have no way or identification that is valid so that I could get it!
Now there are remedies to some of these issues, but in the end, I may never see most of the ten's of thousands of dollars that have been fraudulently taken from my accounts. My bank cannot tell how they got my info, and they have told me I may never really know how they did get it. I will tell you one thing....I'll never have all of my accounts in one bank, and I will never have them tied to one another, nor will I ever use the internet to buy anything again.
Paranoid....maybe, but let this happen to you, and then you tell me how you feel. Am I pissed.....beyond any of your wildest dreams!
