bushwack January 1, 2008 Share bushwack Member January 1, 2008 Ever type your name into google to see what comes up? I got 3 hits and one of them caught my attention. Its a forum page filled peoples names and their addresses along with what seemed some random numbers. When I found my name in the list I noticed that the number beside my name was one of my credit card numbers. The site is here. Seems they have CC info, paypal info and bank info. I'm about to terminate my CC and get a new number, luckily the card hasn't had any extra activity...I think, I better go double check. Seems the info thats missing from the list is the 3-4 digit security codes that you use while online. Any idea how this list was compiled, didn't someone hack ebay a couple months ago and retrieved some CC #s? Who do I need to report this site to?

mookie January 1, 2008 Share mookie GC Alumni January 1, 2008 It may seem odd, but I believe the Secret Service handles this stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mookie January 1, 2008 Share mookie GC Alumni January 1, 2008 This from the Secret Service: The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is the federal clearinghouse for complaints by victims of identity theft. Although the FTC does not have the authority to bring criminal cases, the Commission assists victims of identity theft by providing them with information to help them resolve the financial and other problems that can result from identity theft. The FTC also may refer victim complaints to other appropriate government agencies and private organizations for further action. If you have been a victim of ID theft, you can file a complaint with the FTC by contacting the FTC's Consumer Response Center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackieChan January 3, 2008 Share JackieChan GC Alumni January 3, 2008 Been reading this the past day or so... pretty scary. When you think you have everything safe and good, something like this happens and you find your CC info on the internet for everyone to see/use.
