I get a phone call yesterday—
Hi, yea, ummm... Are you Joe Schmoe?
Who is calling?
AAhh. Calvary Portfolio Services.
In Reference to?
Private business.
Well, I'm Joe Schmoe, what is the problem?
Do you realize you owe 2050.00 to MNBA for a credit card?
ABSOLUTELY NOT. I have never had one of their cards.
Wellll... Is your social xxx-xxx-xxxx?
NO
Your birthdate? Is it xx/xx/xxxx?
NO
Hold on, I say, let me write this down—ok, where are you from?
CLICK—HE HUNG UP ON ME!
I was very surprosed that I was able to *69, and although I just pushed 1 to call back, I got an out of area. Well, I think "Daniel" was surprised when Joe Schmoe called back wanting to know what game was this, in this day of identiy theft they saw nothing wrong with this.
Here's the odd part, after wanting to now check my report, I told this person. Ok, this was a credit card balance? AFTER giving me this other Joe Schmoe's SS#, birthdate, and town they lived in, Daniel told me he could not tell me what the bill was for!
So there you go... Keep an eye on your report, because you never know what other Jane Doe they gave YOUR information to trying to find you, and bill you probably did not owe anyway! By the way—that phone number did put me right through to Daniel, give it a try if you can't get an answer!
Sorry, I have to leave out my name, if they find this, I don't know what they might try.
Thanks! I'll go with my dog's name&call me Mary!
