Do you know anyone whose identity has been stolen?

Asked by admin on May 11th, 2010 Listed in: Stolen Identity

I hear about it a lot but have never met anyone who has had it happen to them. Just wondering how common it really is.

  1. nope!!!

  2. Lincoln, meet Maryn.

    Mine’s been stolen twice. Once was my own stupid, distracted fault. I failed to notice I didn’t get back my credit card after a purchase, because it was soon to expire and I was already carrying the new card, so when I glanced at my wallet to confirm I’d gotten my card back, I saw the new one. Dumb. The cashier gave it to her boyfriend, who ran up $1500 on it during the next hour before a cashier at Victoria’s Secret decided he didn’t look like a Maryn and asked to see ID.

    The second time, we don’t know how someone got our card number and its PIN, but someone did. The bank caught it before he’d spent 40 bucks, all of it online. (We do not use that card for online purchases.)

    Pleased to meetcha!

  3. Mine was…it took like 5 years to get it fixed too…

  4. Yeah my sister. She came down to visit me and when she went back home she said someobdy took 1000 dollars out of her debit account. She said somebody had something shipped over to Africa.
