About five years ago a perp opened up a cell phone account in my name
but in another time zone. Rang up $3,500 worth of charges before the
account was closed for non-payment.

I caught it by checking my credit report, which showed this as a
collection agency item. However, after I disputed the problem with the
credit reporting bureau, the collection agency got my current address
and went after me directly via harassing phone calls and certified
letters.

When I invoked the "Fair Credit Act" legalize on them, they simply sold
the debt to another sleaze bag outfit who started the process all over
again.

It took me four years and legal action on my part to put this item to
rest.

.... and I consider my experience very fortunate when I read those of
other identity theft victims.

Weird. I can't duplicate this behavior. Can anyone else?

You probably have your browser cache set to a size that's smaller than

I can't believe I'm troubleshooting someone's browser problems in

Why not, look at your/my reply, more wasteful than Jay's reply and he is
trying to help someone.

Do you know anyone that has been murdered?

Jay Honeck replied:

Nope. And if I did, how would this be relevant?

I think that Dashi is trying to make a point by analogy. Your not knowing any
murder victims doesn't counter that fact that murders do occur. By parallel,
your not knowing (at the time; see Ben Sego's post) any identity theft victims
doesn't counter the fact that identity theft does occur. It's a weak argument
to an implied statement on your part (I don't know any identity theft victims,
therefore I doubt that identity theft occurs).
