Identity Theft: Me!
Fan-frickin’-tabulous! I just got a call from my credit card company. Suspicious activity on my account. Turns out someone was charging online porn and RealOne to my account! Gets worse. We then get iBill on the phone (a conference call with the credit card company security guy, thank you MCI). iBill processes payments to adult websites, among others. They call up my credit card number and they have my home address and correct email address on the account, but the transactions were not mine. I swear. Not that I’m prentending I’m above something like that, but not this time!
Full-on identity theft. Holy frickin’ moly. Unfortunately, I’m so insanely busy at the moment trying to meet a huge deadline by Monday (with visits from step-brother Jay and Dad in the past week), that I can’t even think about it. Identity theft. Hmmm. ARRRRGGGGG!!!!!
Meanwhile, I need to travel next week. Having what’s left of my credit rating still at my disposal would be nice…
In this context, I wonder if blogging is such a great idea. He’s got my fucking URL!!!
UPDATE:
The beloved wife sends a link for an ID Theft info resource. Thanks, Honey.
ANOTHER UPDATE:
I meant to speculate earlier whether it could be the other Rick Bruner. Or if not, whether he’s worried, too. (I love the sound of “the other Rick Bruner” — it’s like “the other white meat.”)
