I had a blockbuster charge on my credit card and said hmmm I use Netflix WTF is this?! So called my bank and blockbuster and some idiot opened an account in my name but the email address was not mine, everything else is my information. Then I got a package that had '20minutefacelift' above the return address and I thought WTF is this ?! Opened it and it was age defying look younger facial mask that was a free trial but S&H came out to 8.95. I quickly checked my bank statement online while I was on vacation and no charge matched that amount so I closed the account right away. Today I got a whole acne, toner, mask package (someone must have bad skin!). Same thing, free but S&H was about 7.95, again no charge for that amount on my card. Only thing consistent is this email address: [email protected] So feel free to spam, sign up for gay porn with it and bomb it to shit. |

Damn that sucks! A few months back someone got the passwords to both my wifes e-mail and bank login.. they transfered 1k out of our savings by requesting auth codes be sent to our e-mail.. they checked the e-mail and transfered the $$.. The bank put the $$ back but didn't give 2 shits about finding the scumbag who did this... the cops could care less. So these tards are running around taking other peoples money with no consequence... At least you have an e-mail to f*ck with! and f*ck with we will!

I had someone try to pull 3k out of my account from Turkey once all on Jnco Jeans and my bank caught on and froze my account, lucky there but that was a crappy sat night when I had no clue why my card wasn't working! this time it is just weird. I am getting odd gifts basically. Don't like this one bit really. Tried to plug the email addy into myspace to see if the asshat had an account but no. |

The beauty supplies were to test the account. The big stuff comes later. My "test" charge was a donation to the Breast Cancer Foundation of Australia. After that there was a video game downloaded in France. Followed by dozens of failed charge attempts all over the world. On another card just last month, there was a $651 charge to the US Postal service somewhere in Missouri. Someone must have bought a shit load of stamps. I'm still waiting to see how that one turns out. |
ugh...people. Well the big stuff can't come later, closed the card. |

I just went through this 2 weeks ago. They got my debit card number and 1 CC number. I don't use my debit card number on the web and the other CC I do use on the web was the only one that was OK. I had the same thing with charges from blockbuster, napster, and getting beauty products. I got my money back and everything but I alerted the 3 credit bureaus. I sent away a letter asking them to put a security freeze on my report so no one can use my credit and ruin my good score of 771. (I will be getting a house soon.) The security freeze is better then the fraud alert because no one can use my credit without me lifting it first with a 8 digit pin they send in the mail. I don't have to worry about someone buying a car in my name and screwing up my credit. The fraud alert just asks people checking your credit to verify who you are, but if they have a fake drivers license with your name on it, then you might still be screwed. I would suggest this is you already know they opened a blockbuster account with your name. |
Must have been this guy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnN17uJQUbc |
| This happened to my wife and I several years ago. Luckily my wife keeps and eye on our accounts everyday and the bank was easy do deal with after explaining the odd charges. Money was returned but it's a real eye opener when this shit happens. Make me want to reach thru a phone line and snatch the fucker on the other end by the throat. |

Yeah, I had that sh*t happen to me last June in Cali. Some Mexican dude behind the desk at a Burbank hotel used some machine to duplicate the magnetic strip on my credit card. He then got off work, drove to Target, and bought $677 dollars worth of stuff. The hotel manager denied the whole thing...he blamed it on Leprechauns or something like that. I didn't have to pay, so I let it go. |
