Possible identity theft scam from india first five digits ssn?
Callers from India are saying they're working for AT& T or some company and asking for your resume. They want the resume and, oh by the way, they also need the first five digits of your social security number. I've never gotten that request in my life. And they didn't know a lot about the company like the branch location, etc. Just a heads up.
Identity theft scam question?
Is there a scam out there that gets somebody's identity by sending the victim a fake check not a money order check for them to deposit and then the scammer gets the victim's identity somehow by the victim cashing it?

I've been targeted in an identity theft scam. Help?
Upon checking our bank account today, my boyfriend discovered that we had been debited 39 dollars from a company neither of us had ever heard of. We went to the website, and the first thing the website says is, " What are these charges?" Bad sign. It claims to be a company offering ID protection go figure , and that someone in the household authorized the charges to our checking account. When we called the number, we were told that they didn't have a record of our name or our phone number, and the only way they could refund the money was for is to give them the account number again. Of course, we refused, and they told us to send them a bank statement with the charges and they would refund us. We printed a copy, blacked out all the information that could lead to additional charges, and faxed it to them. We haven't received a response yet. When we looked closer at the statement, there were other charges from a different company that we'd never heard of, but when we called that company, we realized it was the same one using a different name on our statement. I sent them an email and threatened to contact a lawyer, told them I knew it was a scam. I know these people typically target individuals who are uneducated and don't know the law, so I'm hoping that by making it very clear that I'm no fool, they will refund the money and leave us alone. The worst thing about it is that our account is in overdraft now and we simply cannot afford this. Has anyone else ever dealt with this situation? What are some other steps I could take?The company was ID pro 99. The charges came from two different 800 numbers on the statement.
Identity theft scam. What do you think?
I found someone online at ioffer.com who was selling gift cards for 50 % of face value. This was not a one time deal either. He had tens of " cards" to sell, since they were actually e cards, redeemable online as a discount code. The catch was that the code would only work with a specific email address that the buyer had to register with. I followed the directions and placed my order. I did not need to enter a payment method because the gift card covered the total cost. However, my order unexpectedly was canceled and I am guessing that the seller accessed my account and canceled my order because I did not enter my credit card information into the account tied to the provided email address. My guess is that he enticed people to buy these cards, knowing that he was losing money, but also knowing that he could steal money from their credit cards. What do you think?
