I'm a liberal atheist which means that I'm highly educated and know how the world beats. Have I ever been taken advantage of? Yeah, when I was a little twerp of a kid many moons ago. I believed all of the bull<><> that I was supposed to believe from my elders. As an adult I learned the truth of everything. What you don't see DOES NOT EXIST! Take that you bumbling bible boobs! I've never been a victim of any kind of fraud in my 66 years on this planet in peril (except for my eight years in catholic school>> catholic school is a scam), and I will never be a victim of fraud either. I'm way too smart to get snared by some dullard who thinks that he/she can "tap" into my private data. The only people who get their identities stolen aren't the sharpest knives in the drawer. Naivety is the prime ingredient to being  taken advantage of.  Why do you think that neo-conservative, bible thumping, Fox News watching SUV driving blowhards are the flotsam of society who get taken every second! They're the ones who are the big old lollipops that get a tasty licking by the crooks and liars that prey on them for their lack of intelligence and character.

I'm going through the same  as all of you. Thanks for the information.  My Bank is and was very helpful now I'm getting that fraudulent phone call.

My husbands personal info was lost I. A Wells Fargo computer stole. Out of employee s car. Sent a letter then  we were approached two tax seasons ago , sounded lime my husband had killed someone. They said " he's suspect in an ongoing case that could imprison him." Sounded crazy. But scrary , he got I. With them and he made mistake and paid over $500 out of our joint account at another bank. Last year got another call same start   Oh yeah on my phone not his. Both times.  After we both disagreed and confronted the man and said we thought them a scam and gonna report them.  They called me a  b word and hubby hung up

Lady Rose,
If they call you and tell you you're a sorrow person, and everything else under the sun. Even if you owe on an account or not? I legitimate corporation is not going to call you and tell you they are suing you. You would just be served some paperwork in the mail, or in person that is nothing more than a court summons asking you to come down to your county courthouse on such and such, date and time, and chances of that are very slim. Unless you are like one of the people that you see on these who done shows like CNBC's "American Greed." You more than likely never will be sued by a credit card debt, or any other low priced debt, due to the factor that in order to go to court and prove a case cost the plaintiff usually thousands of dollars to prepare, and then prove. The only people that call by phone and tell you how they are going to tear you limb from limb are junk-debt collectors. People who try to make a quick easy buck by scaring people to pay up or else. So try not to lose any sleep over them. If you are still being harassed? Ask them for their web address. If they have one? Report them to www.ic3.gov, and they will usually be gone the next day. Good Luck, and I hope I have been some help.

We were harassed for, believe it or not, 11 years.  We repeatedly asked for a copy of the bill, which was denied.  We were ordered to pay the balance or we would be sued.  We refused to pay and told them to go ahead and sue us.
For 11 years we would receive calls several times a day, several times a week.  Suddenly the calls stopped for a year or so, then began again, each time with the 'debt collector' being rude, uncooperative and threatening to sue.   Once again, we requested a copy of the bill and to speak to a supervisor.  All requests were refused.
Finally, after 11 years of being harassed and threatened, my husband answered one simple question, and the calls stopped... he'd either been the victim of identity theft or there had been another person with the same name who had run up the bill.
These people were an annoyance, and after 11 years they obviously didn't have proof that we were the ones who actually owed the money.  
Do not let them bully you, especially if you know you are innocent. And thank you Lady Rose.  If I'd known that then, I'd have called in a heartbeat.  Thanks for the advice.

ok im a sofmore in high school and im doing a paper on identity theft. and one of the qesions is what can you do if someone has stolen your identity?

The best thing for you to do is  make a report to the :  cs3.gov      you can do this on line.  Then the BBB : better business bureau.  
Check out   Consumidor.ftc.gov   yes this is spelled rite.
                  consumer.gov
                  OnguardOnline.gov
                  business.ftc.gov  -  this links  to the law
All of these are the best in rules , regulation, and will help you get answers especially when the  FTC.gov gives you the consumer rights to be protected against these harassing calls.  Most of these calls are fraudulent and are just trying to get
you to send them money somehow so they can commit illegal acts from you.  So stop the cycle,  get their names and numbers so you can turn them in to the above address's and DO NOT QUIT- I have calls and letter trying to collect on for the 3rd time of accounts that are already paid for many years. It's just a big scamming low-life of this generation.  Good Luck, enjoy your life -    try   888-382-1222  DoNotCall.gov,   facebook.com/federaltradecommission,  youtube.com/ftcvideos, twitter.com/ftc,  ftc.gov/subscribe   Good Luck!

Idenity Theft is Horrible I know a Victim 3 Times in 8 Months! Thousands was taken from me and I had 2 put out Fires myself and watch my

Yeah I hear you. And what if the FTC lost your ID Theft report? And you can't work go to college or survive with a child and a disturbed sick mom to handle for 9 welfare years no housing because you have your sisters background and she is a criminal. Who wants you do you have a name no NO IDENTITY just hers rotting your life into scum. What if you have lost out on thousands of jobs and you feel lime a alien from another world because this has never happened and I'm tired of looking on all these pages that don't tell me sh**.

Yeah, I got my Paypal account hacked into and consequently my bank account because Paypal said I needed to attach my bank account to my Paypal! Somebody then took thousands of dollars from my bank account and put me in overdraft charges. The bank refused to help me and further exacurbated the problem! This money that was stolen was to have been backpay from disability. No help was afforded me and I paid out the wazoo because I had written a few checks unaware of this unfolding event and my bank failed to notify me. I found out the next business day (Monday). A whole weekend for somebody to wreak their evil havoc!  I did not know that all this would happen. How naive I was!  Hard life lessons learned.

Everybody be careful these days. That's all I can say,,,be on guard.

AZ nariesilly

My ex sister in law stole my identity, and I have had nothing but problems since. Her name is similar to mine, and when I moved out of a rented house, after purchasing my own, she moved in, so it was more complicated because she had my previous address to. My name is Cheryl, hers is Shirley. We had the same last name until a year before I moved, since mine was changed after my divorce. My ex-husband gave her all my info, including my children's, so now we are on watch for them, cuz they are all adults now. Nothing has happened to her yet, and I am still getting court and collection notices. If I needed one, I couldn't get a loan if I tried with my credit score of 545. I am in Indiana, and this sucks that she is out and free and getting away with this.

Some People are Complaining about me and Share my Personal Bio With All People.They just put my family information in    so many websites and put too bad wording on that site.So Here I just want to tell you i am not a that kind of fraud person.I have my own business and i am very satisfied but that people is doing very bad things with me so i just need some suggestion what to do with them?
i am totally harass with them and i want solution anyhow in any condition.
They just try to put bad things about me and make my name bad online.

Thanks for the information.... I was always told that getting a new ss# was never an option.
