^^^Wow that is big. Did it stop now? That was my initial fear too. So, far I got lucky and no more id theft beside those fake checks. I hope OP doesn't get that much into it.

They did go and buy a bmw in my name and a house.. i guess 2 people got caught of the 4 that were using my info. If you do a credit check on me they even changed my bday to a different month and year. Basically they did a HUGE number on me.
Something similar happened to my mom. Someone stole her purse and racked up almost $100,000 in credit charges in less than 48hrs. Luckily the people were caught. No so lucky was the nightmare that took years to straighten out.

I've had a few weird things happen. Some really odd charge attempts recently, but my CC company caught it right away and called me. They're pretty good about that stuff.

I check my cards online every day, if not every other day. Granted I only have 3 (which I used to have like 15, but I closed 'em all). I make sure everything that posts up is something I definitely bought.

Sorry to hear that happened to you.

I check my accounts pretty often too. Using Quicken, you can setup all your creditcards, bank accounts, etc and download all the latest activity in one click, rather than having to login to each account individually. Updating Quicken with all account activity once a day is easy for someone like me who is too lazy to login to each account individually to check.

I feel pretty fortunate that it seems it was just my card number that got compromised. So it should be fixed now... well, as soon as I get our dough back.

Pay no attention the person who thought AMG is Eazy-E.

It's a good thing you are in the credit union Ray. They actually like to please their customers.
