OT Anyone ever been a victim of id theft/online fraud?

Is there any legal recourse? Check your state's consumer affairs department.

Thanks. I’ll do that. Good advice!

My son went skiing in Canada during winter break when he was in high school and had his identity stolen from his debit card at a market checkout debit machine. He stopped the card but they got a few hundred bucks from his account that he couldn't get back. Fortunately, as a high school senior he didn't have much in the account to begin with. Sorry that happened to you. After that happened to my son I went to my bank and had them lock my card for local use and if I want to travel I have them unlock it for the places I'll travel to only. It's some insurance.

Crime doesn’t happen in Canada!
