First USA (Now Bank one) is staffed with idiots.

I had someone call them and change my Billing Addy. Then go on a shopping spree buying about 5K worth of computer gear.

A red flag went up at Visa and they attempted to call me. I was out of town at the time and the call went to voice mail. I was actually making a purchase with my Visa and it was cock blocked.

I called Visa (not knowing about the voice mail) and wanted to know WTF was up. They said they were trying to call em that some suspicious activity was occuring. I informed them I was out of town, they said that was not the problem and asked if I had purchased all the computer stuff.

This is where it gets crazy. The shipping address was to a Mail Boxes Etc. in Anchorage Alaska. It gets even more nuts. I found out the persons name and home phone #. The internet can work both ways. HP begged me not to do anything to tip them off so I laid back and let them do their thing. Their supposidly sent a drone package to try to trap the person.

This person actually called my CC company a SECOND time and changed the addy again!! I called them up and let them have it!! They only asked for my 4 SS# digits and were ready to do anything I asked. I have since spoken to management and have a super secret number that I do not even remember anymore to access my account by phone.

It was obvious someone got hold of some of my info online. I am unsure how they did it but they did. The other sad thing is that Dell was ready to ship a computer, I letteraly caught them hours before it shipped.

A year later some stupid teens used my Amex# to order some 1st class plane tickets from Madison to Ft. Lauderdale for spring break. The stupid jerks had the E-tickets sent to my home.

Amex supposidly was going to have allt he Brittneys and Ashlees arrested when they showed up at the terminal to get their tickets. Again, I had all their names and Cities but was told to stay clear.

Any of you pilots know if anyone has been arrested in an Airport trying to pick up their tickets like this?
