This company (24 Protect) released my information via the internet to a third party (unknown to me).

I do not have an account with them. Someone was able to open an account, obtain my credit reports. They used this information open an account with Best Buy online. To date these persons have spent $3000.

While HSBC, the credit holder for Best Buy, will release me of responsibility for the purchases, I am still concerned. Someone out there now has every bit of data about me and can continue to cause havoc in my life for years to come.

The social security administration will not change your SSN, so the best you can do is apply a numeric code to all your accounts and freeze your credit reports.

I'm still looking for a way to talk to these people to try to find out how this happened. If anyone has a phone number, please help.

They have been reported to the local police and the FTC. I'm also looking into reporting them to the FBI, the State Attorney General, etc.

More Information 1/20/10

AUTHOR: I. - Kirkland (United States of America)

SUBMITTED: Thursday, January 21, 2010












I
have contacted this company and the memberships above were opened using a
Master card ending in 8089.  This
is not my card. I assume that it belongs to the person that fraudulently opened
the Best Buy account. Adaptive Marketing is not willing to give me the Credit
Card number and says they must have a subpoena to give the information to the
police.


The
accounts this person opened at 24Protect and Credit Adapter are active as of
1/20/10. The Master Card ending in 8089 was billed in January and is still an
active card. (Again, this is not my card and probably belongs to the person who
defrauded me.)



 



It
now appears that the persons that stole my identity went from credit protection/reporting
agency to credit protection/reporting agency online until they were finely able to guess
enough information correctly, or find one lax enough, to obtain the credit reports.


The police in King County don't seem inclined to follow up, stating that this problem is so widespread that they don't have the manpower to follow up on all the complaints. They also said that, even if the persons are caught that they are very rarely brought before a court. Guess it's up to us to solve our own problems. Wonder if I can get my tax dollars back from the police to spend on my own investigation?
