Nora, vw, thank you. Bastards. Why don't they pick on people who have actual money left over, once the bills are paid?
edited to remove information.
See, in my fantasy, when I'm kissing you... you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.

I beleive they recommending reporting fraud by phone, rather than online.

Ginger and Nora, thanks.
Thanks everyone else, too. I know this is one of those things that will eventually clear up. It's just a scary pain in the tush, and it seems so easy to miss one of the steps.

It's scary. Don't forget, you gotta put fraud alerts on yours and Scott's reports... (I know, dumb reminder, but it's the kind of thing I'd space out on in times like this)

Pardon me as I run WOOHOOing through the thread!
WOO HOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Two of my three grades are posted:
Research Methods - A
Mountain Tales - A-
YAYAYAYAYAY!
And, I'm pretty sure that my creative writing class is gonna be an A as well. Whoot!
I was a little worried that I might get a B+ or B in Mountain Tales, but I didn't. Yay! (Not gonna say, "Shoulda done that extra credit." Nope. Not gonna say it.)

Shit, Cindy, that sucks!!!
The credit agencies will each send you a free copy of your credit report when you make the call. Go ahead and call all three, even if they tell you they'll report to each other because sometimes, it takes a while for them to communicate between them.
Your bank should be able to issue you a new account/debit card immediately so you shouldn't have to pay any bills late.
Make sure you file a police report, too.

Cashmere, how did you go about working with PayPal on that? I know it was worse for you. Do you contact them by phone, or what?
Call Paypal directly. They can tell you if someone accessed your account. If they did get your bank number info from PayPal, make sure you close that account and talk to one of their reps.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Grrrr. The idiots at the St. Louis Accountemps office (who took nearly two weeks to get my info into the system) seem to have no interest in placing me in a job.
