[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 2357612, member: 1132"] Had two or three CC numbers compromised. My CC company is pretty aggressive on detecting fraud, so it's never cost us anything and I don't think any of the thieves have gotten more than two charges on them before it gets locked. It's a PITA to get a new card issued, change all the auto-pays over to the new number, etc. The last time it was after a work trip. I was really pissed. So I called a company out of Utah where a $754 order for some liquid elixir crap was placed. I "social engineered" the company into cancelling the order, cancelling the account and giving me every bit of information they had on the fraudster, who was out of Miami, FL where I had traveled. I filed a police report with the PD local to the Utah company. Then I filed a report on ic3.gov. Not yet satisfied, I got a local contact to give me a personal POC at the FBI Fraud Unit in Miami and forwarded all the information to him. I have no idea whether they were ever able to do anything with her, but I sure as hell hope I at least ruined her day. If nothing else, it made me feel better that I had done everything I could! :mad: [/QUOTE]
