Well, I have read off and on about people having their identity stolen... and wondered how it happened...
I was called last night from a collection agency wanting to collect on some bounced checks from a Wells Fargo account...
TP - "Sorry, I don't have a Wells account"...
Them "do you live here"
TP - "yes"
Them "does you drivers license end in XXXX"
TP - "yes"
Them "then you need to file a police report, etc. etc. etc...."
SOOO, I have started down the path of doing all the crap work I have to do now to get this taken care of... So far, I have heard they have written 3 checks totaling over $2500... must be buying some nice things...
Now my first thought was.... why would I be in Irving TX buying all this stuff when I live down in Houston... my second thought was... why did you (Telecheck) approve these checks If you look at my history, the last time I bought something with a check that was not with a family member was back in 2003 and it was a CAR!!! Ya might think that this does not fit my buying pattern and NOT approve 3 large checks (and maybe more as they were in a mall)....
I am still wondering where they got my info...
