IM IN UR MAILBOXES STEELIN UR ADDYS
Someone broke the door off my mailbox and stole some mail last week. And, the expected credit card fraud has occurred, using the address pilfered from my mailbox.

Wait, my mailbox? Hey, they did use my address, didn't they. Not only that, the perps (or their customer) overnighted a replacement card (to my address), when the first once didn't arrive to their location Friday. So maybe someone did not think their plan all the way through. It will be interesting to see what else shows up, who uses my name and info to leverage what. And just as interesting, how much foot-dragging the various lenders and "reporting agencies" do.

For now, I only see card acceptances from Discover ($10k) and WaMu ($2k). I've contacted both, and will write about their varied responses later.
