Anyone Ever Had Their Identity Stolen? (3 Viewers)

I had a detective from a smaller city on South Florida call me once to let me know that he had $500,000 worth of bad checks with my wife's name and addrress on it. It was her maiden name and our first apartment's address but I didn't let the guy on the phone know that. Luckily I have friends in Law Enforcement and they put me in touch with an ID Fraud Taskforce with the Sheriff's Dept. I gave them the Det's info in South Florida and after a little investigation the "detective" was actually a scammer who had gotten ahold of some of my wife's old information and he was going to attempt to update it and use it to open checking accounts and credit cards in her name. He has been doing this for a while apparently.

When I was getting my job with the state, I found out that I was already working at a chicken plant in South Mississippi and contributing to FICA and paying taxes and such. After much haggling, I was able to prove that I never worked or lived in south MS..

Heh I have a similar story. My retired father is apparently working as a female schoolteacher in Ohio somewhere. It's a real pain to get that crap sorted out.

My aunt had her yahoo identity stolen. I got an e-mail stating that she ran afoul of the law in merry ole England and needed me to wire her some money. Don't worry about the fact that in the e-mail it states that she can't get ahold of me. How am I supposed to send money to someone when they say they can't get ahold of me after the initial contact? Plus it has broken English, and I know that my aunt would never ask this help of me because she knows I don't have money to send her!
