Identity Theft (Help?)
Has my identity been stolen? If so, what should I do? And wondering if anyone has any tips or similar experiences. I am very worried right now.
Weird Situation. I haven't checked my email in several days. Today I receive an email canceling a reservation to a 5-star hotel in San Francisco (I'm on the east coast). I see that I got a email 2-days ago from the hotel about a reservation (to my email adress, and with my name at a cost of $230.) I immediately call the hotel, and speak with a supervisor and get the last 4 digits of the credit card number used. It is NOT any credit card of mine. The address and name (including middle initial not in email are mine). All my financial stuff is in order with nothing wrong. Poker sites/credit cards/bank statements are all fine. Now I am wondering just what the hell is going on. Recap: What has happened 1. Reservation to hotel under my name, with my physical address. 2.NOT my credit card number 3.Financial information (poker bank roll) intact. How worried should I be? COuld this be someone messing with me (I have no idea who would want to do this or why). I have anti-virus software and a router. But is there a way to check for trojans. Or should I just assume the worst about all my information and nuke everything. Thanks Much for any help |
