Anyone ever had this happen to them? I went to go withdraw some money and the fukkin machine kept my card. So after I beat the hell out of the machine I called the bank. And they told me that there was suspicious activity on my account (in Wyoming) so they held up my account (rather than let the individual milk my account) Well need less to say, Everything should be back to normal today, but it still pissed me off because it delayed my 5-lug swap. Weird I have never even been to Wyoming, and how did my info get out there. Anyway I recommend Citibank for corporate accounts, they be on shit. Nothing got charged, the just flagged it. ![[worship]](graemlins/worship.gif)

Yup,
Someone stoled my wifes ssn and bought $2,000 worth of gateway computer shit. After a 8 month investigation it turned out to be someone that lived in Oakland working at the book store up at Cal State Hayward or Hayward State University or whatever the fuck they call it now. They were stealing ssn's, check numbers, account numbers, ccn's etc. Now they and some of their buddies are still in jail. I guess they were in it pretty deep and had hundreds of peoples numbers and purchased hundreds of thousands of dollars in shit. My wife was just one of many.
Wife gets free credit checks for life though.

Yeah it happened to me. Some people spent $1,400 in one day in London using my Wamu card last winter.
Got a phone call from Fraud dept. at Washington Mutual asking me about it. 3 days later I had my money back.

we had something like that happen ... we evidently spent 12000 all over europe in two days while we were sweating it up in redding. But they caught it and took care of us. But it still is crazy how often it happens.

Check your credit once a year if your not a victim just to make sure all is well. If you are a victim, or suspect that you might be here are some #'s for you;
Equifax 800-525-6285
Experian 888-397-3742
Trans Union 800-680-7289
or Equifax.com and the same for the others.
Never put checks in your outside mailbox, post office only. Never have checks delivered to your home, pick them up at the bank. Keep a detailed log of all phone calls and to whom and date and times etc, if you have become a victim. It is one of the most devastating crimes around.
