If you’ve been a ‘victim of credit fraud’. Yay!!! (Hate the whole phrase by the way).
Last night I received an email stating that my credit score had changed (I had setup an alarm that notified me, due to another incident…) and voila, there went my credit score.
Today I had the pleasure of spending most of my morning trying to sort this thing out, and it seems like it might be easier than I thought. To make a long story short, some knucklehead used some of my info to open a cell-phone account under my name somewhere in Philly, and not pay the bills of course…
So, you get someone’s info and the best thing you can come up with is to get a cell phone and start, I don’t know, calling and texting hotlines or whatever? The idiocy of the end itself sort of defeats the purpose of the entire thing. I mean, if you’re already going to do something stupid, wouldn’t you want to just go all the way through and get something interesting out of it?
Pfff
