Cancel all your credit cards, immediately. Have them close your account,
transfer your balances and issue new ones. Document everything. Identity
theft is not a joke.

I'm not worried about credit cards. My checking account is my concern.
I have talked the bank about the cards and checking. Now I'm getting
pissed. What is he/she doing with my credit??

There was a news item on national TV night before last about identity theft.
They stated that the first move should be documenting it with police. Also,
as others have said, notify all credit card companies. Put everything in
writing. Good luck, Michael - what a rotten deal.

Thank ChoicePoint for that one. I'm sorry but the whole mess of the
credit bureaus should be thrown out. They are full of security holes.

I'd try to check whatever criminal databases I could too, there is a trend
for some miscreants when involved with illegal activities to use someone
else's ID when caught by the police...

Thanks! I'm surprised The Boat Dock (I think that's what it was called) in
Davenport wasn't mentioned. The food was fantastic; the deck overlooking
the Mississippi was the perfect dining spot. Uh, they can keep Ross' for
breakfast; that's the place that served "Rossburger meat" LOL The servers
looked and acted like they'd been there for 200 years. The Village Inn did
a much nicer breakfast :) Trattoria Tiramisu didn't make the list either,
unless the name has changed.

Indeed they are! When I was up in Iowa last year a particular breakfast
joint made gravy for their biscuits with hamburger; it was very bland. And
no, they didn't call it S.O.S. (which to me *must* be made with chipped
beef!).

Not unlike how you call ground beef "hamburger"
and I call it ground beef (or something else more

Depends on the beef but yes, I use it generically. Hamburger has the
highest ratio of fat and is the least expensive. Ground round has much less
fat. Ground chuck is somewhere in the middle but still lower in fat than
regular "hamburger". (That's how it's labelled at my grocery store). I
could call it minced beef or beef mince if it would make you feel better ;)

As a side-note, I ran across this recipe for Sawmill gravy from Alton
Brown:
1 pound bulk breakfast sausage
1/4 cup flour
2 cups milk
Salt and pepper to taste
Cook sausage in a cast iron skillet. When done, remove sausage from
pan and pour off all but 2 tablespoons of fat. Whisk flour into the
fat and cook over low heat for 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat and
whisk in milk a little at a time. Return to medium-high heat and stir
occasionally while the gravy comes to a simmer and thickens. (Be sure
to scrape up any brown bits that might be stuck to the bottom of the
pan, that's where the flavor is.) Check seasoning, add crumbled
sausage and serve over toast or biscuits.
Guess he grew up close to me!
BTW, I always throw in a good heap of cayenne along with the black.

Michael, you are a victim of fraud. I am serious, you need to report
this identity theft incident to your local police or district attorney.
Report this problem immediately. The longer you delay reporting this
identity theft, the worse the damage will be and the more difficult it
will be for you to clear your name.

Our news -Detroit- ran a special on ID theft recently telling us police
will file a report from you but will not really get involved with these
cases.
It interview couples that filed ID theft reports with proof but their
credit reports were ruined and one couple who filed ID theft were paying
back taxes to IRS from a person who used their social security number to
obtain a job being in united states illegally.
Chances are very good your going to be held responsible for this auto

Because local PD's don't have the funds to go chasing it down. And even
the FBI requires a loss of $20K or more to pursue a case of fraudulent
identity.
Identity thieves know this.

Starting March 1, we here in St. Louis and other parts of the midwest
can get all three credit reports free. Be sure to get them and go over
them thoroughly before you do anything else.
You can get a new SSN if necessary, although it's not all that simple.

I just finished up a case of identity theft...the perpertrator is
Washington Correctional Facility for Women after conviction.
Here's what I did:
Contacted the police where the id theft occured. You will have to make
a formal written complaint. That gets you a police report with a number
issued and an investigating officer's name and contact number. Provide
them with all infomation regarding any fraudlent charges on credit
cards, any new accounts opened, etc.
I contacted all the financial institutions I deal with and forwarded
them a copy of the police report and filled out all pertinent forms
since a fraudulent bank account was opened in my name and the perp had
bounced $10,000 in checks.
I contacted all credit bureaus and immediately put an ID theft
notification on my credit rating. They also were sent a copy of the
report.
I contacted all credit card companies....and discovered that there were
unauthorized charges on some accounts. Upon receipt of the police
report, they deleted all charges and notified the credit agencies.
Since your SSN was fraudulently used, you need to contact the Soc. Sec.
Administration...and send them a copy of the police report also.
When you get a copy of your credit reports, it has the adresses you
have lived at on the reports. Inform the police if any of those
addresses are not yours. The perp may have slipped up (as in my case)
and used his or her real address!
Keep copies all correspondence. You often will need to send copies of
materials you recieve from other agencies and companies to the credit
bureau, police agencies, SSA, etc.
Hope this helps.

Not totally. Mine occured as a result of the theft of mail that
included bills from one of my credit cards. That gave the perp my name,
address, account number, etc. We caught a break because she opened a
fraudulent bank account ans was caught on camera. They showed the
picture around and folks verified that it wasn't me and that I was in
Central Americaover a year.

Depends on where you are ...and how much effort you the consumer will
put into it. The police won't do the leg work. Been there, done that
with ID theft and ther perp is in prison as I type.I provided all sorts
of infomation...including an address that the perp had used which I had
never resided at. it showed up on my credit report...and they busted
her...for ID theft, grand larceny, forgery, bank fraud, theft of
negotiable instuments (she'd stolen checks form a local escrow
company). My latest credit report shows that none of this ever
occurred.

OT'ish as regards Michael's sitch we are talking about, but another way ID's
are stolen is when people are deceased...
A guy I knew years ago is in prison in Wisconsin for stealing identities
from decedents. He'd comb the obituaries looking for "marks"...he'd then
contact the family (usually via the funeral home) claiming he was a
Wisconsin state tax official, claiming he needed further info to clear up
some "final tax matters". He would get this info and use it to get credit,
checking accounts, car loans, etc. He'd fence the more expensive
merchandise...
He had quite a nice little scam going until one family got wise and
contacted the police. His biggest boo - boo was impersonating a tax
official, the judge did not like that at all. He also had prior convictions
for ID theft, these he stole by rummaging through dumpsters...
Thing was 20+ years ago when I was acquainted with this guy he seemed
perfectly normal and nice He had an MBA from DePaul University here in
Chicago, had a good job with a brokerage firm in the Loop, had a nice
family, etc. Turns out that despite all his advantages he just had a
criminal mind I guess...
So ya never know...and just because you are deceased is no guarantee you are
safe from these scumbags...
There are more grifters out there than ya'd think, it's not just something
you see in movies. They usually are normal and even nice people, can be
very charming in fact...natcherly that's part of their MO.

She stole mail addressed to me and used a fraudulent SSN and fake IDs
with her picture but my name and address to set up bank accounts and
credit card accounts. She stole checks from an escrow company and
forged signatures to make the deposits to the fraudulent bank account.
The sheriff said they even caught her going through mail in the DA=B4s
office wastebaskeet while they were charing her. She was looking for
addresses.
You can contact the credit bureaus and request that pre approved credit
card applications NOT be sent to you. That=B4s one of the things she
stole.

I used to think that people who shredded their paperwork were just being
paranoid. As time has gone by, I've discovered that they're absolutely
right. Still haven't found our shredder since the move, but it'll be put
to use on our several month's accumulation of junk mail and stuff.

I'm going to have to hire an attorney. LE is useless except in the local
townships here. The person in Nebraska has racked up over $100,000 on my
credit. If he/she goes belly up I'm worried about my house. I have much
more equity in it and do not want to fight for it, I just can't right now.
I'll know more this week. Gawd, I hate this **** and I sorry anyone that
has gone through it.Never will I be careless with credit/debit cards again.
It is horrible. The worst thing is, when you inform the banks. Everything
is cut off and you can't use your debit/credit cards. I live on my debit
card. When they cut it off, I did not know what to do. I actually had to go
to the bank. I'm almost ready to go back to the old fashioned way.

The issue I have right now is, the person is not defaulting on anything. I
think they are using one card to pay another. Eventually it will all tumble
but I'm not waiting for that. The PD here is not all that concerned.

My first info came from the credit bureau. Now my attorney is working on
it. I have had no help from the PD. I shouldn't say no help. They did what
I assume is their normal procedure. So far, everything done has been by me.

A year? OMG! Well so far, the person has not hurt my credit, thankfully. I
have to dispute the reports on file with 3-count 'em 3 credit bureaus.
Apparently this person has been at it a couple of years.

I had to dispute it with all three credit bureaus also...but they were
actually not bad to deal with. Very helpful and told me exactly what
information I would need to provide. This woman had only been at it for
three months when she made the mistake of opening the bank account but
used my real address instead of her address. So I got the statements
and notified the bank.

The PD won't. But they are required to take a report and allow you to
get a copy of it. Almost every agency I dealt with required a copy of
the police report, the report number and the name of the investigating
officer. They don't don anything until you present them with enough
evidence to collar the person. Since it is a non violent crime, it
doesn't have a high priority.
I provided the PD with every shred of evidence they needed on my ID
theft...including the perp's home address. The bank provided the
information on the bank fraus end (as well as the info I provided when
I received bank statements for an account I never opened). I did it all
from Honduras while this was occurring in Washington state. (faxes,
emails, and Fed Ex)I made one trip back to sign papers and reports and
at that time the woman was already in jail awaiting trial.

She stole credit card bills addressed to me. I never saw the bills and
figured they were delayed in the mail (everything is forwarded from WA
state to me in Honduras). When the fraudulent charges appeared, I
contacted the companies and the credit bureaus. As soon as I sent in
the police report the compnaies dropped all the unauthorized charges.

It's ridiculous since you have a location and if I remember correctly a
vehicle was purchased. That vehicle has an identifier that can be traced
to an address. From there the PD can notify the local PD to go have a
look see and generate any warrants necessary.

In your case it worked. In many peoples cases it doesn't.

Nebraska is an o.k. place to visit - Omaha has The French Cafe, which
is very good (or it used to be, anyway) and there is a stockyard steak
place - Johnny's? - also superb. There's also a little dive/diner that
is famous for deep-fried carp (not a bone in sight) which is absolutely
to die for. It's on the river - can't remember the name of it.
And if you cross state lines into western Iowa, head for Henry's Cafe
in Honey Creek or close by - home of the biggest and best pork
tenderloin sandwich.

I think it's just "the Dock." It's been the place to eat for at least

They probably can't do it unless an in-person appearance is made to
file a complaint of identity theft by the victim. I was informed by the
Sheriff's Office that had I not shown up IN PERSON at the Sheriff's
Office to file a report that they would not persue the identity theft
portion of this affair. I had to present two picture IDs in addition to
filing the report. This was inspite of faxing and mailing copies of the
ID to the PD as well as all pertinent information related to the
inident. They required an in person appearance to verify that yet
another party was not trying to commit fraud or ID theft. The bank
fraud case was persued because the bank filed a report and the theft of
checks/forgery was persued because the escrow company filed a report.
I'd be willing to wager that Michael will have to show up IN PERSON in
Omaha or where ever this event occurred to file reports in person. I
had to fly back from Honduras to take care of this. All of the expenses
were submitted in the event that she ever earns enough during her 10
year stint in prison to make restitution.
