I know I’m only supposed to be writing about “happy” occurrences (at least that was a rule I made for myself) but I MUST share.

I signed up for LifeLock.

I shred EVERYTHING.

I only shop online with reputable sites.

I never let my credit cards out of my site.

I bought a mailbox with a lock.

Giang Doan Desai used my checkcard to purchase a Patriot Sata 2 internal solid plate disk from a computer in Philadephia and have it delivered to Santa Cruz, CA.  20 minutes later he/she tried to purchase a Canon camera.  Purchases totaling up to $1000 from NewEgg.com.

Giang, who are you? Why do you have my last name?

What is a Patriot Sata 2 internal solid plate disk?

NewEgg.com has nothing to do with eggs.

I call LifeLock.  They can’t help me – other than to tell me to call the bank and file a police report.   Brilliant!

I call the Bank, dispute charges, get temporary credit issued, destroy my checkcard and wait 5-7 business days for another one.

I file a police report.

I call NewEgg and tell them to reverse the orders.  Even though the order is in my name, they can’t give me shipping information and can only answer yes or no questions.

I have to wait 5 days to BUY the police report, so I can see Giang’s name on it and some address in Santa Ana, CA.

Police report also says: This is part of a large fraud ring where individuals will have the property mailed to their homes and then repackaged and sent to Vietnam, Nigeria, or Russia.

I’m just sayin.
