Yes, many fake emails from different banks are going around. The emails have the bank's logo and everything so it looks official. What they want you to do is give them your account # and then that's the end of your $$$.

It's so scary out there, especially since I always use my checkcard. I might reconsider using checks or a credit card instead of my checkcard.

I keep all my credit card receipts until the bill is paid. If I don't have a receipt to match the charges, I have not made the purchase. I will call the credit card and have them send a copy of the receipt they have to verify that I signed the receipt (just in case I could have forgotten or lost the receipt). Since I don't sign my credit cards on the back (I write in place : "see other ID"), the thiefs cannot imitate my signature.

My father in law is a banker and he also had us change our driver license so it wasnt our social security number because he had seen a lot of identity theft going on by using soc from drivers license.

That is a good idea about the receipts. I also have "see ID" on the back of my credit cards.Originally posted by Lexi's Mom+Dec 14 2004, 05:08 PM--><!--QuoteBegin-MalteseJane@Dec 14 2004, 03:04 PM

We also keep our receipts, we actually had gone out to eat at a local steak house. The bill was 25.95, and we paid tip on the table. Well when the bill came the total was 29.95, the waitress had changed our 5 to a 9. We called the steak house and the manager gave us our money back, so if we hadnt caught that, she would have had a heck of a tip. You guys may want to save receipts used on credit cards when you go out to eat. Some people are just so self absorbed they don't think about what it does to other people I guess.
