🤬 🤬 🤬. Saw a charge for $36.00 for a DoNotPay entry. I wrote and asked please cancel this account. They wrote back and said I need your phone and e-mail as to how you opened this account. I wrote back and gave her my phone and e-mail. She writes back saying they have no record of these to have opened the account. Then she writes back Kindly confirm that the account is associated with yoshiko@zenithinbox.com. I wrote back, no I wont as I have NEVER heard of this yoshiko@zenithinboxcom. I go to google find it on Facebook, check it out and there hasnt been activity since 2021. I immediately call my credit union and tell them the situation they cancel my debit card and I can go pick up new one tomorrow. I probably wont get the $36.00 back, just thankful it wasnt thousands.

(411 posts)I got a notice from my bank that $232.60 had been charged on my card. Someone from Tokyo purchased Adidas on their on-line shop.
No change to me and a new card is being mailed.
It turned out ok but still made me nauseous and sad. Someone has new tennis.

(5,452 posts)I have spent this past week dealing with the same.
- We discovered fraudulent Uber rides on our Chase account. Since you only need to provide a CC# to make an Uber account this is an easy one for the thieves.
Theyve got ALL my info. Including my SS#!
They also ordered a new CC from Chase in my name.
They gave Chase their new phone #. I had not ordered one so, we were able to nix that. The thieves will have a credit card sent to your address then, once youve activated it, they receive confirmation that its been activated on THEIR phone & then they go to town.
Ive frozen my credit & put codes on my accounts etc, etc, But, SS will not issue a new # unless the fraud is pretty extreme- ie, International. Or say person must enter witness protection.
Im so tired of these thieves!
Stay safe my friend!!

They will get back to you right away.
Thieves a big into stealing licenses now too.
They can open bank accounts & get government benefits with your license #.

(86 posts)detected a breach, I froze my and my father's ss# with all 3 credit bureaus so noone can open any accounts in our names period.

(5,452 posts)Unfortunately, they can still use your SS# to get employment.
This can cause a problem when you begin to collect SS. The government can end up overpaying you &
later claw back these funds due to the error.
