I've just spent all morning cancelling credit cards, closing bank accounts etc. It started when I received an e mail alert from Chase Bank that my password for online banking had been changed. I called Chase and got it straightened out (so I thought).
Then a few hours later I receive an email from Paypal that my password had been changed. Talked to Paypal and the gal said that usually if your passwords are the same for banking, Paypal, Amazon, etc. they just put in your email and password and they're off to the races.
I thought all was good until this A.M. I get a call from Comchek that 2 wire transfers were made on my Chase Visa credit card for a total of $1,400. They tried to make a third but the woman in their fraud division got wise and called me at work. It seems this effing lowlife was able to forward my cell number to his phone so that when anyone called to question the charges he would just tell them it was good and to proceed. She also told me he had my social, birth date and other info.
My question is, how did he get this info? I called ATT and the forwarded number is a local number. Did he hack e mail? Anyone who has been through it or has input it would be greatly appreciated.
