Twice I have been a victim of identy theft. The first time, someone got into M's bank account, destroyed her credit and made serious overdrafts. The fucks who stole her account number cashed 6 checks before someone at the bank responded, and they were less than helpful. Never pressed any charges, though they had the criminals on tape. They just didn't want the bad publicity. BANK ONE should not be trusted, believe me... we lost a few thousand dollars on bounced checks and crap...
Today, IT WAS AMAZON. If you have an account with them, you had better close out the credit card you used AND STOP DEALING WITH THEM. A very bright friend of mine was trying to give me a book, and instead I got a notice saying my email had changed. This lead me to wonder about the gift certificate... and now, my worst fears were confirmed when I called around and found out I was screwed.... and my friend's credit is now subject to getting fucked.
Theives should be burned alive. Very slowly.
