Hey, so my dad and I think he is a victim of attempted identity theft. We keep getting emails from people saying we signed up for stuff that we didn't, and we get emails from hotmail, netzero, yahoo all staring with 'ourlastname'@netzero, etc. Plus, they have my address, my dad's name, and possibly his social security #. And also we keep getting stuff in the mail from PCDI saying we requested information and we keep getting called by them. Just wondering on what to do in this situation.
ever wonder why parents/people tell you to tear up credit card bills,phone/net bills, social security letters etc..
THIS IS WHY! all someone has to do is go through your bin and copy down the info.. people can get yout credit card details and get your money diverted to them. there was something about this on tv only 2 nites ago :O
Actually, the good criminals can get your information even if you tear it up. They take a lot of time piecing it back together.
What you should do is shred it up multiple times multiple ways. Pretty much shred it up and dump it back in the shredder until you have very small pieces let.

Yea, you may wanna contact the police as soon as possible.
It's so easy to have your identity stolen.
