Default ID Theft -- Courtesy of the FAA

Correct -- as I've since found out. I'm learning more by the minute
about ID theft and its repercussions.


We have several "rainy day" credit cards in a safety deposit box at the
bank that we have *never* used.

Imagine my surprise when I got home from vacation in February to find my
message machine contained 2 automated suspected fraud calls on two of those
cards.

Phone calls revealed two $300 internet charges to cell phone vendors on one
card and one $200 internet charge to another cell phone vendor on an other
card.

My best guess is that someone pulled a credit report on me and used the
printed card numbers off of it.

So... try as you might... you can't get away from these scum.
