Identity Theft

Today I was again a victim of Identity Theft. I got this mail from Citi cards asking me to veryfy all my card details. This mail seemed so authentic. It was like a normal Citi mail. I filled all the details and clicked send. That very second I remembered a Discover mail that I recieved a few days back regarding identity thefts so I called Citi and asked them if the mail was authentic. IT WAS NOT. So I had to cancel all my 3 citi cards. I also had to change username and password of my other accts, MBNA, Chase and Discover. I spent like 2 hours on all this. :(


I had lost two of my card like 5 months back and some guy had spent $250 in 2 days. I did get all the money credited back to my acct but this identity fraud really had me tensed for a couple of days... loads of paperwork... The funny part was that someone had used my cards at eateries and gas stations just by my house.

I hope everyone is careful abt this. Dont want anyone to go through this mess.
