NFleischer 4,355 Posted February 13, 2009 It seems like i've been repped! someone stole my social security #,address and made a drivers license, etc. They tried to set up shop at Target as well as other places i guess. i was wondering how they got my information- anyone think it could be related to all the reps i buy online? you think Josh or Angus could be selling info if sales are down? jeje Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alphakazi 0 Posted February 13, 2009 Sorry to hear this Dr. Fleischer - you're not alone There are many ways to get your info - I was approached by someone about 10 years ago that wanted to pay me generously for each credit report I gave him - I did mortgage financing at the time. I can run reports from equifax even without a SIN - I told him to fuck himself but in retrospect, I should have got his info somehow to report him - meh, not really into telling on people but I can see how this stuff hurts people and in that view, it would have been worth it - who knows how many people he scammed. I suggest buying yourself a copy of bitdefender for your computer, a good paper shredder (cross cutting) and to just be vigilant - also there are companies that protect and insure you from this sort of thing. Hope all turns out ok man Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NFleischer 4,355 Posted February 13, 2009 @ alhakazi-thanx man. btw- how'd you know i was a doctor? did i mention it before? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alphakazi 0 Posted February 13, 2009 nope, but I do know with more certainty now - don't verify anything online you don't want others to know unless you are in control and know you're sending someone on a wild goose chase If you're not a doctor, that was a good response... if you are, not so good. It's another trick, ever get an email that makes no sense, just replying to the email confirms your email is valid. It then get's put into a database and sold to spammers There are so many crafty thieves out there - now excuse me while I dump out your bank account Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greg_r 81 Posted February 13, 2009 btw- i'm a neurologist. i have a brain disorder. i repetitively buy replicas(and some gens too) If you find a cure, let me know... By the way, it may not be your rep-buying habits that has caused this. According to a friend (actually ex-wife) who works in CC security for one of the major banks, a significant majority of credit-card-derived I.D. thefts seem to be down to dishonest employees in bricks-and-mortar retail. Whatever the cause, I hope it doesn't create too many problems... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AllergyDoc 40 Posted February 13, 2009 (edited) Noel, didn't you catch the thread where Col. and Greg were posting satellite photos of scammer's houses? They know exactly who we are, all of us. They know how many cats you have, where your rose bushes are planted, who's visiting our wives while we're at work… Edited February 13, 2009 by AllergyDoc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
