Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
Or I hope that's the case.
A couple of months ago I got emails from AmEx, Disc & Capital One congratulating me on my new credit cards, asking for more info - I never applied! I contacted all three immediately concerned about phishing or fraud.
It appears AmEx & Disc corrected their records, though I don't know how I can be sure.
However, I've had a dozen more emails from C1. I have contacted their 'fraud' peeps several times by phone and email, they assured me not to worry, but I keep receiving emails on "my" new account. When I call now, they say that can't help me unless I give them my Soc Sec number. I don't want to share it, there shouldn't be any way they'd have it, why give it?
A few days ago I got another email giving a full name (not mine), stating my account ending in XXXX had a balance of ($379). Today I got an email acknowledging my payment of $59. So whoever it is, probably doesn't have good credit. But it is an active account!
Somehow C1 has a new account with my email address, but all the other info appears to be someone else! Why C1 can't fix that is beyond me?
I can unsubscribe to the emails, but I want to be sure there isn't any association with our credit record.
We're going to check our credit record with Experian etc.
Anything else we can/should do?
