[QUOTE="PGB1, post: 1836228, member: 76746"] When one of the credit bureaus had a breech, they gave us free credit monitoring which translated into 5 or 6 junk e-mail and phone calls every day trying to sell us one of their banking, credit or other products. What a sucker I am sometimes! I should have skipped that 'generous offer' & just verified my reports were still on lock-down by myself. (They already were on lock-down from the years-ago theft.) A funny coincidence- Just yesterday I stopped for gas while working in a neighborhood where honest people don't carry much cash, so I used credit. I inserted my credit card & pulled it out when prompted. A skimmer came out with my card! (Guy must have bought his glue at the dollar store.) This is not the first time that's happened. I don't give the skimmer to the attendant, as it is often their doing. The police don't care, so I just smash & recycle. And, I never, ever hand my card to an attendant. One would think that working a real job is less effort than being a crook. It's a crazy world we live in- But at least we are here for the good parts! [/QUOTE]
