Default Who has.

Well, lets get this section started. I for one have never been a victim of identity theft, and I hope I never am. Sadly not everyone can say this, post stories if it happened to you, or someone you know..How did it work out.

I know a person that this happened to. People stole her credit card information and started charging things to it. If you are smart about it though you shouldn't have any problems.

i think my friend went to a site and bought some clothes from a place in China. I told her to be careful about it and in about a month she had her credit cards maxed out.

I know someone who had their card details stolen a couple of years back, but thats all. I don't know anyone who has had loans taken out in their name or anything extreme like that.

Sadly I've been a vicitim. I visited California during summer break and I live in Michigan. After about 2 months, I saw that someone had charged one of my credit cards close to $5000.

Luckily everything was taken for and I did not have to pay anything.

I thought it would never happen to me but it did. Not a good feeling at all. Try to use cash as much as possible when on vacation.

My identity theft happened at a gas station. So a suggestion would be never to swipe your card at a gas station.

Go inside and pay.
