[4RE KLR]

Warren,
About two weeks after first had this happen and the Keller, Texas police detective (WORTHLESS) told us they did not work those types of cases, he and his wife had theirs stolen. It was all over the news paper that hey would find these people and bring them to justice.

Amazing how it didn't matter when it was us, but when they got hit, that is a different story.

They found a lady in Houston that was selling the information over the web for $50.00 for each name. She had sold it several hundred times over the course of two days. We had purchases made from Houston to Seattle, on the same day. Airline tickets were bought, cars were leased, loans were taken out, and Walmart got hit pretty hard.

The lady had got the information from a ********* cashier that had double swiped our check when we paid at the register. We thought it was odd that she would swipe it twice and then give us back the check we had just written. When it was all said and done she is the one that was selling the information on line and to the people in Houston that made it public.

The way it works is they use ones ID and another's checking account number. They used our ID and someones Else's account number. The problem is, when the checks were sent back to the retailer's they contacted us. The threats were horrible, even after we told then we were victims of ID theft they did not believe us. We had police reports they told us were fake and we even went through the ID theft clearing house. They sent the accounts to collection agecies. It cost us many, many thousands of dollars and we still have some of this crap on our credit reports. This happen five years ago or better now. We have had to get our attorney involved and sue three of the stores to get them to remove the information form our credit.

It really sucks and the people that did it only got a slap on the wrist and sent home. No jail time at all.
