Identity Theft.....Again...

*sigh*
This is the second time this year that this has happened to me and I've never ordered anything online with my card...heck I barely even use it anymore. It's like WTF is going on. The first time this happened it left me homeless in Orlando so luckily I'm back at home this time. I just don't understand how someone could spend $41 at McDonalds of all places. I hate people

Homeless in O-town...damn I'm surprised the Ricans didn't cook you up and serve you in taco's. I hate Orlando, I used to live in Titusville but not anymore. That place was like a giant giant Hispanic only urinal, Orlando that is.

I had friends there so it wasn't so bad. Sleeping on coaches and the car...fun times indeed. Funny thing is I never saw that many Hispanic people there but I guess that's because of the area I was in.

was it a stolen credit card or identity theft? I bet they bought lunch for all their homies cause they where tired of eating the cheap stuff that they can get with whatever foodstamps they didn't sell to pay for their crack habit.

It's odd because they got money out of an ATM...was obviously using a card in all of these transactions...but I have my card right here with me. I've barely used it since I've been back in Mississippi so how someone in Illinois ended up with it is beyond me. The first time it happened things were being taken out in Mexico (Which supports 2Finite theory of all the Hispanics in Orlando )

Yeah. The first time was horrible though. How about it happened the day before I was supposed to move into my new place, the day my friend I was staying with left, and the day before I had to repay for my storage. I was so screwed

That's what we're trying to figure out (Myself and the bank) That just blows my mind because I just used my card the other day (Well I tried too but it was denied) So I checked my account and saw all these charges taken out that I didn't do and flipped out. The bank tells me there's even MORE that was taken out but they stopped all of those from coming through.
I for the life of me can't figure out how they did it though.

Don't let it rule your life but be extra vigilant with everything...even when you throw away bills and stuff...you can get a shredder for real cheap if you're lazy but all I do is go through all my bills, anything with my name and info being thrown out, and I attack the hell out of it with scissors. Hell just get stoned and spend 5 minutes cutting the shit out of any file/mail you throw out.

Thanks man and you're right I really have to be extra careful about everything I do now. 2007 has just been a crap year for me and I'm glad it's almost over.

Nope. Just a 22 yr old recent college grad with a crappy post college life. I swear since I've graduated things have gone from worse to worse....maybe I should go back to school lol
