Credit Fraud Prevention – ID Theft Protection Service

fengaraerith asked:


I have a friend (I swear this isn’t me) whose mother filed for credit cards and loans under both her and her sister’s credit lines, forging their names on the signatures for the money. It has gotten to the point where there is about $80,000 each girl ($160,000 total) in total debt. She has no prior offenses, so if charges were filed, what kind of penalties would the mother be looking at if she were charged with Credit Fraud?

I opened my credit card statement and discovered a $1,500 charge I didn’t make. I called the credit card company and they investigated. They found out it was someone who stole my # and charged their monthly child support with it. When they link the child with the responsible parent, can I press charges for fraud and attempted theft?

I know of credit card fraud going on and I want to report this to the FBI, but I am concerned for my well being. This person is using a dead person’s name and credit cards, and they need to be stopped. Can I do this, without my name or location being revealed?
I want to thank all of you, for the wonderful suggestions, which were all good.I am sad to say I don’t know who specifically (credit card companie) holds those cards; otherwise I would have moved on it a lot quicker. I’m dumbfounded that the credit rating corps didn’t catch this. But the erpson continues to use a dead person’s cards,….and the people in this posting could be dangerous.
Again, thanks to all of you,…..there are so many avenues I can possibly explore.
