Saturday, February 23rd, 2008I make it a point to thank every single cashier who checks ID when I use my credit card.
I THINK WE ALL SHOULD!!!
Cashiers should no longer be kept reluctant to check IDs for fear of customer annoyance, simply because no one thanks them for checking!!
Corporation’s Inadequacy leads to identity theft…
Wednesday, February 13th, 2008Seems to me like even more progress could be made (stopping identity theft, or at least its devastating effects) by holding responsible those agencies that open accounts fraudulently. Websites [government run or otherwise] that post “public” records online, are only making it easier for people to access such records from anywhere in the world. I [...]
Institutionalized Corporate Complicity
Wednesday, February 6th, 2008A big part of the problem is that there appears to be either a widespread denial, or a “who cares?” attitude, on the part of big companies & corporations, that identity theft is a crime that affects victims, sometimes for life. I long ago gave up contacting Yahoo!’s “fraud” folks ’cause they never followed [...]

Kansas District Court in Wichita Kansas allowed someone to present themselves as me and get "good faith and credit"
Monday, February 4th, 2008I am living like the Taliban in Las Vegas, NV, after 9/11, when I left Wichita, Kansas, to save my life. I had been in a car wreck, when I rolled 20 times, no brakes or steering, June 2, 2001. The “law” wouldn’t even investigate. Two years later when I had to go back and [...]
The Bank
Tuesday, January 29th, 2008I was wondering what bank Karen was dealing with that did such an inept job. I read her story today in Reader’s Digest, and found myself not only fuming at the theif and and the court system, but the horrilble customer service provided by her bank. If I could find out what bank [...]
recent check forgery
Thursday, January 24th, 2008The forged checks continue to come in and now total over $3000. Fortunately, nothing else has been out of order for us. It amazes me that these stores in Minnesota do such a poor job of verifying a check. This thief had forged checks with our names, addresses and account information [...]
NEED HELP FIGHTING BACK

recent check forgery
Saturday, January 19th, 2008My husband and I are recent victims of check forgery in Minnesota. Someone began using checks with all of our joint checking account numbers and information on them. Luckily for us, a smart employee at a Sears store became suspicious and the forger was caught. Because of this employee’s diligence, we were [...]
Opting out of credit card offers…
Saturday, January 5th, 2008I called the 888 number last night to opt out of credit card offers. I was kinda surprised by the need for my ssn and d.o.b. I trusted your story and Reader’s Digest but woke up in the middle of the night feeling I had just handed out my identity. Why do they need [...]
