New Credit Card Theft Information

http://www.foxbusiness.com/personal-finance/article/banking-group-warns-consumers-major-data-breach_523305_19.html

Details are just coming in stand by.....

Busted - 5.7 Million Dollars Worth of High Tech Gear

If you are a victim of this crime, or a similar crime, contact the FBI as indicated in the URL below!!!

Here's a pretty sure fire way to end up in jail.....

This guy somehow
- got valid serial numbers for Cisco equipment that he did not own
- bought a contract for that equipment
- claimed the equipment failed
- (This part is assumed) Cisco likely shipped him the replacement equipment with a legal notice that he had to return the failed equipment
- he turned around and sold the new equipment on E-Bay walkinf away with the cash

Cisco, and whoever bought the equipment off of ebay, is victimized, and the guy tries to walk with 5.7 million dollars. No mention of identity theft or redirect funds etc....but it's a good bet if this went on for a while that some of these tricks were used.

TJMAX Settle's ID Theft Case

I brought up the TJ Max ID theft in a post in March 30th. Today they have settled with banks for 41 Million dollars!!!! This case should be used as a benchmark for retailers who put little or no thought into how well they protect their customers financial and personal information.

The New Bonnie and Cylde - right

Ever wonder who is capable of identity theft. Some shadowy figure sitting in a dark dank Romanian basement, accessing Internet servers that have received stolen ID's from botnets?

Here's a new twist. How about your next door neighbors who looks like they should be posing in magazines!!!
