IDTheftVictim asked:


Ok, I am not one that checks his credit very often cause I just don’t use it. But I recently got my annual credit report and seen alot of old credit and other strange accounts that are seriously impacting my credit. Some of them date as old as 2001. Is it too late to file fraud affidavit with FTC and get the stuff removed?

I have been accused for debit/credit card fraud from my prior employer. I was let go on early December 2009 after seven successful years of employment, for violation of conduct with my work hours time, clocking in early and basically getting paid for non worked hours. I made a mistake and as a consequence lost a very good job, I have learned my lesson…the hard way. This however, was only the beginning… a month and a half later a police officer from the Houston police department contacted me with questions in regards to a transaction that was placed at my prior employer where I held the positions of accounts payable/assistant sales manager. He asked if I was home and wanted to ask me a few questions, I accepted not having anything to hide. He arrived shortly to my residence and asked if he could come in, I accepted and he began to explain the reason for his visit. The officer who to my surprise is also a previous customer of my work place explained the following: that he was being sent by my previous employer to ask me that about a transaction that was placed on Nov 14th of 2009, two months before, for $5039.90 and that the transaction was charged on a retail credit card of another customer. The individual who owned the account called the store inquiring about such matter since he did not place such order.
The customer that made the purchase, who also happens to have a theft charge from 1997, was nowhere to be found for the first month. Finally appearing, the customer got questioned by the officer. The customer allegedly paid cash and is willing to testify that I was the one who processed the transaction. I explained to the officer that I did not recall such transaction and that I never took any money. He then showed me the invoice where it demonstrated the method of payment that was used and my employee id number. I explained to the officer, that even though my number is showed another employee had access to process transactions while I’m not present. The other employee that could have made the charge apparently quit shortly after being questioned about the charge. The officer proceeded on explaining to me how “things were not looking good for me” and that “a warrant might be issued”. Two months later, I received a phone call from a bond office stating that I had a warrant out for my arrest. I was in shock and couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Once I arrived there they informed me that a warrant was issued for credit/debit card fraud.
What type of defense approach should I use, or what would you recommend?

hello, everyone. I am going through a ID theft crisis. Someone has gotten tickets in my name, cable, hospital bills, phones, and the most recent one is they worked in my name. The main problems is that i have a fraud alert and everything. Yet nothing seems to work at first. And what really makes me mad is when it’s taken care of I don’t hear back from the companies or anything. But then the fraud comes back 2-3 months down the line. And to make it worst, it’s never happens in the city I live in? Someone please give me an answer?? PLEASE HELP?

Stan M asked:


When I was 20 I used a relative’s info to get a license from the DMV. They recently went to get their own license renewed and were confronted when they noticed the digital picture they had (of me) didn’t match. I used the ID to simply get into bars and casinos, nothing criminal. My relative now has to fill out a fraud complaint packet and will be issued a case number. My relative knew I had done this 4 years ago and just wants to get their license without legal remedy being taken against me. What will likely happen? Has anyone experienced this?

this is a well known scam. why can’t the authorities do anything to stop & prosecute these scam artists ? they operate from UK adresses with names, phone numbers & email ID. i would have thought their tactics amount to basic fraud & would therefore be illegal ! isn’t that straight forward fraud ?

We are moving and my car was broken into. They stole my wallet, which had my sons’ social security cards, and my old one with my maiden name and my new one. They also ended up with my routing and account number, but I closed the account. They had my ID too, but that was mailed back to me from across the state. I am afraid they will open accounts in my sons’ names, since they have all the information needed. How do I file a identity theft/fraud alert for free?

Ginger asked:


Is there a way that I can tell the DMV to keep tabs on my lost California ID?

and can whoever has all of this use my ID to get into bars, or to do fraud with or to open loans, or to go to my bank to withdrawl money, if they have the ID then they could couldn’t they? Because they know what bank and they have the debit cards. Also I did call the bank to cancel all of the debit cards but they still have my informationa nd my ID ?
I think i know who took it and it’s someone who goes to my school so it jsut makes it easier for them to stalk me , what can I do ?
I’m afraid because there was not one penny in the wallet and they STILL kept it, that’s what scares me !

Craig asked:


Im 16, and I live in Canada, im wondering what the consequences would be using my real drivers license, that proves in 16, to buy alcohol. Ive done it before and no one looks at the date of birth, they just check to see your using an id that has a picture of you.

I can’t think of any reason why this would be against the law. I don’t think I can be charged with under aged drinking if I haven’t consumed any alcohol, and if im not using a fake id I cant be charged for fraud or any forging of a government id.

So im wondering what the consequences of being caught would be. (Besides being embarrassed)
