I just had the same experience this morning!  I download my transactions every morning so I can catch phony charges quick. Glad I don't wait for a monthly statement. Probably would not remember very well after so much time goes by.

Unfortunately my wife has been hit pretty hard this month, first with fraudulent charges with her debit card and today the feds kicked back our tax return because someone has compromised her SS number.

Had that happen a few years ago. They cleared it up pretty quick. Ultimately they set me up to where I have to include a PIN number when I file each year. If not it will reject it. Must be working, hadn't had a fake claim since. Good luck with your situation.

Our CPA seems to think someone accidentally put in their SSN wrong, which very likely could have happened. So now we have to mail in our return and prove her identity with passport, DL and SS card.

Yikes that's scary. I have all my account alerts setup to where anytime a charge is made an alert is sent to my phone. Caught someone a little while ago trying to make a small/feeler charge and I was notified within minutes and shut down the card.

This s*** somehow manages to happen to me pretty regularly, with the credit cards.

Now, I couldn't even file my tax 13 return, becasue some dick already filed earlier this year with my SSN.

Zero compassion for asshats that do this s*** to people. Should be shot on sight.

When I was in Canada somebody hit my business card for EBPP for $1K at best buy, took about 5 minutes for Chase to clear it up thank goodness.
I don't use that card for anything but with my vendors for paying for product when it's purchased. Somebody got into one of their PC's and stole it.

After this whole Target mess one of my credit cards was hit for $16,000 in fraudulent charges.  Luckily USAA did a great job handling it and all I had to do was sign an affidavit saying it's wasn't me.

Apparently someone bought a lot of go fast car parts with it in South Korea...wish they would have sent me some :(

This stuff scares the cr*p out of me. I check my banking online everyday and go through every item on every charge card each month. But what a hassle.   I have caught, overe the years, probably 4 fraudulent charges on various cards and was issued new cards each time.   I do a lot of charging because it is convenient and  helps me track for personal/business etc, so there is no way around it for me.
