Yesterday morning just before we left for church, we got a
phone call. It was fraud alert. Yes, Calvin’s identity has been stolen AGAIN.
This is the fourth time. Cal’s social security number must be popular—it keeps
getting sold over and over again.
We found out about the fraud because a couple of months ago
we got a Capital One Visa card. And, providentially, Identity Thief Number Four
chose to open a Capital One credit card. Capital One thought it was odd that
Cal was applying for a second credit card from an address in Detroit, so they
called us. Capital One is now denying Identity Thief Number Four a credit card.
Later today, we’ll find out if ITNF has opened other credit
cards in Cal’s name. Then, we’ll call the police in Detroit and they’ll tell us
that ITNF has rights and they can’t help us.
Hmmm. We still have some friends in Connecticut. I wonder if
anyone there has a cousin named Guido the Enforcer who will help us. After all,
this identity thief is not nearly as clever as the last one. ITNF actually gave
Capital One his home address, instead of a PO Box. I’m sure Guido can convince
Capital One to share ITNF’s address with him.
Anyone out there have a cousin named Guido?
