Has anyone been a victim of identity theft?? :-(

[Cap'n]

That sucks.

I once had my bank card stolen and they somehow got my PIN. They deposited empty envelopes all weekend and spent all the imaginary money plus everything I had. I went to the bank Monday on my lunch break and reported my card missing (along with everything else in my wallet) and was handed a -$5000 statement!

The cops sighed, filled out the paperwork and said there was nothing they could do.

The bank said it was all my fault since I had signed away my rights when I accepted the privelege of using one of their convenience cards. The best they could do was offer me a good rate on a loan to pay back the bank!!
I don't deal with that bank any more.
