Our credit card company called today to verify that some debits to our account were actually made by us. They do this periodically so I was ready to okay whatever she was going to read out to me . . . Until she got to a $460 debit from an on-line computer company. I KNEW I would remember something like that and I was pretty sure we weren't in possession of or waiting for $460 worth of any kind of state-of-the-art gadget. As we got further in the list of debits, it became apparent that someone, way, way outside our family circle, had obtained our number and treated themselves to a touch phone/computer deal and took the open opportunity to also download some tunes to go with it. I joked with the credit card company that I didn't even have such a neat item and he said he didn't either. He went on to say that whoever was helping themselves to our credit line was also going to be disappointed as he was closing out the card immediately, refusing payment to the stupid company that just took the card, and issued us new cards.
I also called LifeLock and they jumped on the situation with a vengence. Someone is going to wish they hadn't put dream to reality when they tried to steal our identity via our credit card. Poor person (NOT!) who either hasn't received his longed-for item yet or has it and the credit card company, the on-line store, and LifeLock on now on his case.
