ash Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 So today I get a call from Wells Fargo fraud department. No biggie as I get them frequently with my business purchases, so I figure it's just no big deal again. Boy was I wrong and holy mother of God was I surprised! I find out that some a$$hat decided to not only use my check card to purchase stuff from the UK, but they also decided to purchase enough stuff to empty my entire account. Now the process of waiting begins to get the money back in my account. The site that was used to purchase a few thousand dollars worth of stuff was www.offgamers.com. Called their customer service department and got to speak to 'ramitupyourasssideways' somewhere in Asia. Well at least I didn't have to press 1 for English. Man I hate a thief, especially some 12 year old computer hacker. It wouldn't break my heart if each and every hacker out there that does this, suddenly wakes up a deaf mute with no fingers and no toes Quote
dunefreak Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 damn, Ash. You've had some pretty chitty luck lately. Sorry to hear that. Hopefully the bank takes care of it rather quickly. Quote
ash Posted November 21, 2007 Author Posted November 21, 2007 Pete you have no idea! There is a guy at work that we are blaming our bad luck on. It all started when he got his car stolen then broke the A/C and transmission in his wife's van. After that, it was all down hill for almost everyone in my department. That would make a good campfire story. Quote

Derblank Posted November 24, 2007 Posted November 24, 2007 I have been a victim of True Name Fraud. They got info on me (about 10 yrs old) and opened 28 credit cards in my name. The company that issues the cards called my Credit Union and reported that there was a large amount of cards being issued. Talk about a pain in the azz..... I had to call all the credit agency, report that I was a victim of true name fraud and cancel all the cards. Then call all the credit card companies and close the accounts, then call the Secret Service in Washington D.C. (They are the ones that supposedly take care of that stuff) .... I feel for you... BTW.. Nigerians are the leading minority group in the U.S. that commit true name fraud... what luck... Quote
