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.
No credit card can now be opened under my name/SS# without the credit agency first calling my cell phone.
