Anyone Ever Had Their Identity Stolen?
Anyone run into this problem?
Just found out today that my wife did...and she's freaking out....someone got ahold of her name and "SS" and was able to get credit cards...then politely withdrew some cash withdrawals off of the credit cards...to the tune of 2000.00 on one and a little over 4000.00 on another....she just found out today that this supposedly happened back in April-May of 07....:covri:
That is terribile!!
Thankfully, I"ve not had that happen.
The closest thing(less severe) to this happened to my son.
There is a kid at his school with the EXACT name, first, middle, and last.
(his name is not that common either)
I"ve had phone calls about his bad grades(my kid made straight A's), detentions he has received(none here), unexcused absences(he's not been absent) and disciplinary problems(he's never had a disciplinary problem, well, not at school, :hihi: )
It was all on the other kid. Once they determined the grade level, they are difft grades, it was resolved, thank goodness.
The excuse I was given? That when they type the name in, it goes to the youngest of the 2(my kid). I said , the other one doesn't show up?? Answer: No, not unless you scroll to the next page. :covri:
Anyways, we got it straight. They had a meeting and all the teachers were instructed about this type of situation.
Sorry to hijack.
I hope your wife gets everything straightened out. I would feel violated.
