My husband received the letter stating he owed $300.17 for a debt owing to Fingerhut. I explained we have never purchased anything from them. And they have the wrong person.
So Mr. Reid (extention 5005) said he needed the last four digits of my husbands ss# to confirm it. Like an idiot, I gave it. He acted a bit confused and asked me to wait a minute while he checked out the file., then wanted the first three numbers and I blurted that out. (how dumb can I get?)
Next he wanted to know if we ever lived in Bothell, to which I said NO, and he said "OK, must be an identity mistake. And not to worry about it.
Now several hours later and I rehash this in my own mind and find this site about them. What a shock to find out they are Ripoffs! What do I do now about the possibility of identity theft? Never been caught in anything like this before, and now I'm scared.
