Identity Theft

Hello.
Someone has opened a Skype account using my name (which is very distinctive) and my picture. 
People who are looking for me on Skype are contacting that person instead. How can I remove the impersonating account (who to contact, what documents to supply)? 
Best regards, 
Uria.

you can contact [email protected] to report that user, and to know what your possible options are.

  • Anybody else not a Verizon customer getting nowhere w/Verizon identity theft unit

    I am not a Verizon Wireless customer.  I was, but I changed over in 2011 because the coverage with another carrier was better than where we previously lived for 17 years.  We are middle aged, fiscally very conservative and sound, and expected no problems whatsoever when my husband decided to retire in June and for us to move out of state, selling our real property and buying our dream home in the place we choose to retire.  We had a regular monthly credit report company but last summer they stopped offering the low cost arrangement our credit card offered years ago.  We lost a family member after a six month decline and had no reason to believe anything was wrong.  My husband ordered up his report and score and was way up as we expected.  I then ordered mine and I fell off my chair (literally).  My score had dropped by one hundred points because someone opened a Verizon Wireless account last October in my name, ran up the account to more than a thousand dollars, and bailed.  Supposedly, it was sent to collections but since the phone seems to have been ordered in New York and I haven't lived there since 1970 (as a kid), I knew it wasn't me.  I went through all of the required steps, wrote my dispute out, sent proof of my police report, complained to the Federal Trade Commission, and spoke to a representative named Justin who confirmed that it was clear it was not my account (he could not legally give me more at that time but that should no longer apply).  I get an e-mail that gives me a report number and tells me to sit tight, basically.
    Crickets chirping.
    A few days ago, I get an e-mail from the previously very helpful Justin that says something to the effect of "oh, that's just a collection account.  All is good! Bye!!"  Wait, what?  I can't get the e-mail to let me reply so I wait for the new reports to come out, expecting that my fully documented case of identity theft will be resolved.
    It is now a month and when I ordered my three reports and score for the new quarter, voila!  MY SCORE ACTUALLY WENT DOWN MORE!!!!!!
    I am on my 4th call today, and taking screenshots every five minutes I wait.  After more than two hours of being lied to "your representative will be with you in a few brief moments), I am ready to go off the grid or start collecting names and contacts of those who are not customers of Verizon Wireless whose identity has been stolen because I believe we are not restricted from filing a class action suit because we have no contractual relationship with Verizon Wireless.
    Okay...after more than 30 minutes on call 4, I was patched through to the Fraud Department to a representative named Greg.  He patiently listened to my rant about how horrible their internal phone system is, he remained completely cool and calm, I calmed down, confirmed that I know he is not the problem nor can he effectuate any major changes, he took my number in case we were disconnected (which, surprisingly, we were not) and an hour later the fraudulent account has been closed out, my credit reports will be corrected, and I will receive information with which to pursue the harm the thief committed.
    There has to be an easier way and I will remind these companies that ignoring or ******* off the victims didn't do the Roman C. Church any good either.  It is unfair that there are those who seem to believe anything they can get away with is okay and that companies who employ people etc get ripped off, but as the collateral damage victim, I can't spread out my losses.  I urge Verizon Wireless to make it a priority to service all identity theft victims, especially since some of the thefts come from Verizon Wireless employees.  Otherwise, they are creeping ever closer to a huge, huge lawsuit.
    Thank you Greg at Verizon Wireless Fraud Division.

    I am sorry this happened to you. We found out today that the Galaxy phone my wife purchased for me and put 300.00 cash downpayment on was stolen by an employee. Of course calling does not do a thing. All they do is say sorry and hang up. I will find a way to get that money and then leave this company. It just stinks that they take the word of an employee (who by the way was not there two weeks later) and we spoke to the manager who said he would take care of it but did not.  We are out 300.00 and screwed I guess. WE WILL BE LEAVING THIS COMPANY.
    I know they don't care but it made me feel good to type in caps. I really do not care who is my carrier anymore, they cannot be as bad as this one,

  • Identity theft-Verizon corporate store employee opened an account in my name without my permission. It seems Verizon isn't willing to do anything to resolve it. Help!

    It’s a long story but I’ll try to keep it short and simple as much as possible.
    I went to the Verizon Wireless corporate store back in beginning of February 2014. After a credit check, I decided not to go with Verizon and left the store. About a week later, I received a letter from Verizon saying “Welcome to Verizon. Your new account… “. I called the customer service right away and was able to get the phone number,account number and other information. I was able to make a my verizon account and get a receipt for the service and device. Turns out, the new account was opened about 20 minutes after I left the store by “M” who helped me. The receipt had the time, employee’s name and register/terminal number that he used to open an account. He opened an account,added data service and got an Ellipsis tablet for free.(They were having a promotion at that time)
    Customer service rep told me that she can’t do anything other than closing the account and left me with a $83 bill which she couldn’t waive. She closed the account then I went to the corporate store right away.
    I spoke to the store manager “C”. I told him what happened and showed him the receipt. He went to the back of the store to talk to “M”,came back,talked to other employee(I overheard their conversation-he was saying what “M” told him made no sense to him) and told me that “M” will come talk to me to explain what happened shortly. I waited for 20 minutes or so for “M” to have a conversation but he never showed up. The store manager said that the account was opened by “accident”. He’ll look into it and give me a call in a day or two. It was hard to believe that a new account can be opened by “accident” but I took the store manager’s business card and left the store.
    2 days later,I didn’t hear from the store manager so I called him at the store. He said “Oh,I totally forgot. It’s been a busy week. I’ll call you back. Don’t worry, as soon as I get an update,you’ll be the first one to know.” That was the last time I got to speak to him. I’ve called him at the store many times,even called his cell phone which was on his business card. I’ve called many times and left many voice mail but he never got back to me. I called customer service many times but it took 20 minutes just to speak to the rep,then transferred to another rep,wait for another 20 minutes then get disconnected. After 6 or 7 tries, I finally gave up. It went absolutely nowhere.
    A week later, I decided to call the Verizon fraud department to file a complaint. The rep pulled the file and said that whoever at the store filed the report left out a lot of details and names. He also said that it looks like either they didn’t take it too seriously or someone was trying to cover up. According to him, the report is a joke. He said that he can’t do anything on his end I need to go to the store to resolve it.
    For the next two weeks, I called the store ,cell phone and left messages every 2-3 days but no luck.
    Two week later I found the number for the Verizon Security Department. I called them to file a complaint. The rep took my information and said he’ll call back within 48 hours. No case number given.
    3 days later, I still hadn’t heard from anyone,not even from the security department. I called the security department again. I explained that I filed a complaint but the rep couldn’t find the case. I filed a complaint again and was told that someone will be contacting me in a week.
    It’s been over 2 weeks but I still haven’t heard from anyone. A few days ago(3/31/14) I received the bill from Verizon in the mail.
    At this point, I can’t seem to get Verizon’s attention. I’ve already got the police report and spoke to the identity theft lawyer. I’m about to report to FTC,BBB and the attorney general. I’m also initiating paperwork in my local small claims court.
    It is very frustrating having to spend so much time just to trying to talk to someone from Verizon but I’m not taken seriously. I had to spend so much time contacting credit bureaus,researching how to handle the situation like this and other things I have to do to handle the situation. This is such a nightmare and very overwhelming. Not to mention my credit score dropped by 100 points right after this incident which got me denied for an apartment application and had to pay more security deposit.
    Please help. If anyone can give me an advice on the best way to handle this or to get Verizon’s attention, I’d really appreciate it.

  • Excluded client problem - "Attempted to use IP Address assigned to another device" / "Identity Theft"

    Hi all
    Problem:
    Client gets excluded caused by "Identity Theft" (when looking in the controller) and "Attempted to use IP Address assigned to another device" (when looking in the WCS).
    Setup:
    Centrally placed WLAN Controller - The SSID and AP is in H-REAP mode, and the DHCP server locally is a ASA5505.
    Client:
    Samsung Galaxy Tap 10.1
    Other clients on the same site do not apeer to have this problem.
    The problem is peoridic.
    Other info:
    We have recently upgraded to 7.0.230 because the same type of client would get excluded with reason "unknown", and not be removed from the exclusion list - this apears to have been a bug in the WLC software.
    Now we have the reason, and the client will get removed from the exlusion list after the default 60 seconds, but then get excluded again.
    When doing a troupleshoot client from the WCS the following shows up:
    04/16/2012 12:10:32 CEST INFO 10.1.33.13 DHCP offer received,dhcp server set. 
    04/16/2012 12:10:32 CEST ERROR 10.1.33.13 Received DHCP ACK, could not update client state. 
    04/16/2012 12:10:32 CEST INFO 10.1.33.13 Received DHCP request, error processing packet.
    04/16/2012 12:10:42 CEST ERROR 10.1.33.13 De-authentication sent to client. slot 0 (claller apf_ms.c:5113)
    The question right now is:
    The "could not update client state" - is this the WLC not being able to update the client or is it the DHCP server ?

    As i tried to explain before, we have local switching at the remote site, not centralized for this SSID.
    And the DHCP server is on the same local VLAN.
    It works fine, but all of a sudden a client will get "stuck" in this error.
    If anyone wants to look, I have this debug output from the WLC.
    The debug starts from right after I have removed the client from the exclusion list.
    I can see in the ASA that the clients lease time in the DHCP server will get renewed duing this process to the default 3600 seconds.
    The clients MAC is :8c:77:12:ac:8c:3b
    The ASA inside interface is: 192.168.2.1 /24
    Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

  • PBS NOVA identity theft article.

    This is why I went through the process of getting mine and my wife's credit frozen (http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/post/4801333).

    I thought I should probly share this, if nothing else maybe you can use for user training.

  • I am considering taking my MacBook on an overseas vacation. Am I exposed to identity theft if it is stolen and is there anything to do to avoid this?

    I am considering taking my MacBook on an overseas vacation. Am I exposed to identity theft if it is stolen and is there anything to do to avoid this?

    >Am I exposed to identity theft if it is stolen<
    I think you are in danger of theft even if you are in this country. There are many ways to protect your MacBook from theft but be aware that nothing is absolute.
    This is a good overview of hardware options:
    http://theandy.hubpages.com/hub/Protect-Your-Retina-Macbook-Pro-MacBook-Air-From -Theft-Part-1-Kensington-lock-alternatives
    and software:
    http://theandy.hubpages.com/hub/Protect-Your-Retina-Macbook-Pro-MacBook-Air-From -Theft-Part-2-Data-Protection-Tracing-A-Stolen-Computer
    Of course remove all personal information from your MacBook and use passwords as noted.
    Remove all links to personal accounts that you won't absolutely be needing on your trip.
    Depending on your insurance provider it might be possible to extend your coverage just for your vacation. If it were me I might think of pulling my current hard drive and reinstalling a bare bones drive that doesn't have all my normal links to bank accounts, PayPal et al.

  • Having you stop pestering me about openness. Have you not heard of identity theft. There is not enough security for "openness!"

    Having you stop pestering me about openness. Have you not heard of identity theft. There is not enough security for "openness!" Asking questions should be easier. This is too much going thru 4 pages to ask you one question. Why does firefox crash so often?
    == This happened ==
    A few times a week
    == a year ago.

    The questions are asked to collect information to analyze the problems you are experiencing. Otherwise we would see a lot of "It doesn't work" or "What is wrong with my Firefox" with no other details. There is no personal information requested. You can choose to leave an e-mail address so that you receive a notification when someone responds to your question; otherwise, you must search for your post when you return. With the thousands of questions received each week, searching the forum for your post when you return can be tedious, and sometimes unfruitful. The e-mail address you leave for notification is not accessible by us; the notifications are automated.
    <u>'''We are all uncompensated volunteers here; users helping other users.'''</u>
    Most crashes are caused by Extensions or Plugins. Sometimes crashes can be caused by malware or by something wrong on your system.
    <u>'''Firefox Safe Mode'''</u>
    You may need to use '''[[Safe Mode]]''' (click on "Safe Mode" and read) to localize the problem. Firefox Safe Mode is a diagnostic mode that disables Extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes <u>'''before'''</u> starting Safe Mode. When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode". Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
    See:
    '''[[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]'''
    '''[[Troubleshooting plugins]]'''
    '''[[Basic Troubleshooting]]'''
    If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your Extensions and Plug-ins and then try to find which is causing it by enabling <u>'''one at a time'''</u> until the problem reappears. <u>'''You MUST close and restart Firefox after EACH change'''</u> via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.

  • Identity Theft (CSRF)

    I have the following problem:
    When a user doesn't allow cookies, the CFID and CFTOKEN are
    submitted using URLs. If the URL is being published (including the
    CFID and CFTOKEN) via a hyperlink on a page or by sending it with
    an email for instance and someone uses that link to go to the page
    he will be able to take over the identity of a previous user if
    that is within the allowed session timeout (which I set at 10
    minutes to lower the risk).
    This will allow the other user to use the session of the
    previous user to perform malicious actions using the previous
    user's credentials (which might contain passwords, credit card
    details or other sensitive data). So we're having a real (CSRF)
    security issue here.
    I read a lot of articles on how to prevent this, but I
    haven't found a full-proof method yet.
    What I created now is custom code that runs on every page to
    prevent ColdFusion taking over the session. It still happens, but
    when it does the session will be deleted immediately and then start
    a fresh one by:
    - Deleting all parameters containing session information from
    the URL.
    - Destroying all data currently in the session.
    - Relocating to the same URL with the remaining URL
    parameters, if any.
    Coldfusion will not find a session anymore (it's destroyed)
    and will create a new one.
    This solved the problem I described above, but to me this
    still doesn't seem like a full-proof solution, so I was wondering
    if anyone might have a better solution to this problem. I searched
    all over the Internet, but could not find a better solution to this
    problem than the one I created myselve.
    So if anyone knows a better, more secure method I'd love to
    hear it.

    You can use session variables to maintain your critical
    variables. Check out

  • BB&T - Identity theft

    I just got an e-mail from BB&T requesting comfirmation of personal information for security purposes.
    I my opinion, this was definitely an attempt at identify theft.
    The interesting part of the e-mail was the e-mail address that was used. It contained the correct first four characters of my e-mail address, followed by a lot of meaningless characters and numbers, and then ended with the typical @mac.com.
    Use this information as you see fit, but my guidance is don't send them anything, except maybe some kind of vulgar response. I didn't have the guts to do that.
    Dual 1.8 GHz PowerPC G5   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  
    Dual 1.8 GHz PowerPC G5   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    but my guidance is don't send them anything, except maybe some kind of vulgar response.Never do that. Don't reply, don't bounce, just trash it. Or else forward it to security at your bank.
    This is a typical phishing scheme. Never reply to a link in an email. That only tells the sender it is a live email address.
    Instead, go to your banking site, login and see if there are any messages for you.

  • Your Name W/ Your Birthday Leads to Identity Theft...

    I don't like the idea of everyone seeing my birthday.  I have read accounts of someone's identity being stolen once they find out your birthday.  Will SKYPE be making this an optional feature like FACEBOOK does or not?  If not, I won't continue with my new phone number service.
    I'm An Optimist

    I am sorry this happened to you. We found out today that the Galaxy phone my wife purchased for me and put 300.00 cash downpayment on was stolen by an employee. Of course calling does not do a thing. All they do is say sorry and hang up. I will find a way to get that money and then leave this company. It just stinks that they take the word of an employee (who by the way was not there two weeks later) and we spoke to the manager who said he would take care of it but did not.  We are out 300.00 and screwed I guess. WE WILL BE LEAVING THIS COMPANY.
    I know they don't care but it made me feel good to type in caps. I really do not care who is my carrier anymore, they cannot be as bad as this one,

  • HT5312 Identity theft

    I have recently discovered that Unauthorized purchases using my I tune account were made and yet, I was not informed by the store about the so many purchases. What can I do to stop the  purchases? Also, I have being going through major problem with all my devices, which includes, I phones x2' I Pads x2, Airbook Mac also. The problem with them was that the software that was installed were outdated, firmware was an older version, when using the web, all the sites were redirected to an exact duplicate site, but it was a fake duplicate of the original.my identity was used by th
    Pli hackers to purchase items, locating me on GSM was impossible, one day I was in west Africa, another day i was in the CARIBBEAN ocean?
    CAN I HAVE YOUR openion all of this and what to do next?

  • Identity theft and last 4 of social

    I can't see hwo this would be enough for someone to steal your identity, but had the post office lose a piece of priority mail containing credit cards, PIN numbers, IRS documents, and things that contained last 4 of social. Canceled cards and PINS and asked for new ones already, but person still has my name, last 4 of social, address. This happened one week after my Barclaycard was also compromised so it hasn't been a fun time. Canceled and resissued however. Dont' want to do credit freeze because it could impact CLI's. Someone yesterday mentioned an Alert monitor service where you could get just alerts of any new changes in your credit report, rather than doinf whole reports or myfico (not pleased with the lag time on myfico). Any information on the alert service or thoughts about last 4 of social being out there would be appreciated. Thanks

    Sorry to hear about this! You mention that the Post Office lost a piece of your mail and later say "but person still has my name, last 4 of social, address."  Do you mean that (a) you know for a certain that a bad guy has this and is misusing it, or (b) that you know for certain that some person has this (who may not be the sort to misuse it) or (c) there might be a person who has it.  I am guessing (c) is the case and you are just trying to cover yourself in case there really is a person who has it and he misuses it. The different scenarios have different options.  

  • Loss of customer support control, does this mean identity theft risk?

    does anyone have any comments as to whether the loss of control of the customer service portion of adobe will have any affect on personal information, I was worried if my perosnal information might be compromised

    I was very frustated with the fact that I could not get anyone on the telephone regardless of how long I waited, I believe if my phone battery would have lasted it would just sit there for days with no answer.  That made me think that the company has no control over what it is going on in their customer support division, that there is no way to intervene to address the problem.  It just seems then that any information available to customer support is not completely under the control of adobe systems since they have no control over what is happening in customer support.  I would like to assume that I am completely wrong and perhaps delusional from exposure to so much horrible wait music on the phone but it made me wonder about it, afterall the information is being accessed in another country and who knows what type of employee screening actually occurs, just a thought anyway.

    You can change how the device connects to the internet by changing the dns server. No support for this here, but lookout may be a handy app to have.
