No, it did flag, but they didn't make a call. Instead, the merchant had to call in and then the person that using my identity got on the phone, verified the info per the questoins asked, and then also presented a photo id to the merchant. Scary, huh?Quote:

so i hope for your sake that you dont have to pay it. granted theres a slight difference between 9,000 and 70,000 but it still sucks ass
there's more to the story than mentioned...people dont just get stuck with 70,000 in credit card fraud....there is a very thorough investigation process that goes on that most people dont know about. the only way you would be responsible for it is if you had some part in it.Quote:

They maxed out each of the cards even getting a $5,000 stereo install in their car at Tweeters lol. It took a shit ton of paperwork and filing a police report and the bad thing is that it still shows up on his credit report but is marked as a fraud case. He had never had a credit card, doesn't use the internet at all. They think someone stole their mail one day and apparently were able to get enough info to use. On the credit app they had where he worked, how much he made, the phone number, all the other relevant personal info also. It was some crazy shit.
man that was a fun night. thanks again Ruiner!
justk idding
No credit card can now be opened under my name/SS# without the credit agency first calling my cell phone. :)Quote:

There are ways to track you down. It's just a matter of time and looking over the paper trail to make connections.Quote:

I won't need to whoop anyone's ass. It didn't affect me one bit aside from a quick phone call. The police can deal with this. Is credit card fraud a federal offense? Federal prison is not somewhere where you want to go, that's for sure.Quote:

I work for MBNA/BOA, and I'll make sure you don't get your money back!! :D :D
I have my debit card info stolen last month, (they made a fake copy of the card somehow...?)what a fucking hassle
took 2 weeks to get $3000 back
MBNA can also get on my ball sack,
later
sucks bro. I would do a credit freeze if I was you. I think in the state if GA you can do this until the peeps with your personal info are caught or they stop.. shit sucks bro.
I never lost my money and/or paid the bill, so I am good. :)Quote:

No, they have ALL of my info. Fortunately, I have set up a fraud check so that NO cards can be opened under my name unless the credit company calls my cell phone first and I authenticate that this is a proper inquiry.Quote:
