About 5 months ago I received a call saying I “won” a 500 dollar shopping spree at Walmart. The man mentioned a magazine subscription but I told him I was unemployed and could not afford the subscription and he transferred me to a second person and she told me in order to send me my 500 dollar card she needed a valid card and it would not be charged. I gave her my credit card number (huge mistake) and then I was again transferred to someone else and she then told me I had a CONTRACT for those magazines and as soon as she ran my card my contract began and there is a $490 cancellation fee. I didn’t realise at the time it was a scam and I told the lady I can’t afford it and I never NEVER agreed to the magazines. My card was only suppose to be ran for sending the gift card. She then told me it was too late and it was a done deal and there wasn’t anything
I could do about it. There was a recording after she convinced me I was stuck and on the recording they made me say I agreed to the magazine subscription. I do not want my credit blemished and they keep sending me bills that I do not have money to pay and I have not received a single magazine. What should I do?
My identity was stolen 10 years ago, and several phony accounts were established in my name. Only the Target card was never resolved, so they turned it over to a collection agency. I have been contacted by at least 5 different collection agencies over the years. They are typically the harassing variety. At what point can I expect to stop having someone try to collect this debt? Or will this continue for another 10 years or the rest of my life?
Someone stole my debit card multiple times and cashed stolen checks, and I unknowingly gave this person my debit card on occasion (because this person did not have their own) and this person cashed stolen checks.. without me knowing, am I going to get in trouble?? im 17 turning 18 in 2 days. I am scared worrying every day, being threatened that they are going to sue me because it was MY account…. this all happened 5 months ago.. I try to get the person who actually did this to heed my advice and sort it out, but this person doesn’t seem to even care the slightest bit!
I wanted to know when the statute of limitations was up for credit card fraud in California. The fraud happened a little over three years ago and I know now who did it. It was unauthorized use of a credit card. What if anything can be done legally to this individual after this three year time frame?
17 yr old credit card fraud?
My friend & i found a credit card while at work (sears) we bought 600 dollar gift card, we spent it all on clothes we ended up getting caught for that, and for lowering the price on stuff while working, when we got caught we gave all the merchandise back including receipts & everything so basically we didn’t keep anything. we’re going to get a paper in the mail telling us when we have court .. we’re both really scared and know we were wrong, we’re in Seattle Washington does anyone know what will happen? our records are completely clean well they were until now..
