I got a number of these fraud mails from a look a like e-bay and pay pal. I did not open them but I will report the next ones.
They are really good fakes.
It is also why I am not a big e-bay buyer but it is the rage of the internet. I got burned once--never twice!

BTW, do Washington state DL's use social security number in them? If so, I think there's a federal statute giving you leverage to demand that they reassign you a new ID not using your SSN.

It's been three days since I contacted Ebay via their web site to inform them of this and no response. I guess they could give a rip. I've been monitoring my credit daily with the Equifax system and nothing irregular. I did use my credit card today and I was automatically alerted of the purchase on my cell phone. Pretty cool stuff.

Sorry to hear it happened. Never click on those links! I do look at where the link goes just out of curiosity though. You can always tell it is a fraud because of the domain or IP that the link points to. They get pretty creative with the domains though. If you even think it is valid, simple go directly to the website or call the company. Don't use the link in the phishing email.

that s*cks man sorry to hear it.
as for the drivers license number change? I don't believe so. It is the nearest thing to a National ID card we have I don't think they will allow you to change the number. I'd call the DMV and ask when you get a few hrs you can kill on the phone..

I received an email from Ebay to indicating that my account had been suspended. the link brough to the Ebay web site and asked that I put my information in again to activate my Ebay account. Unfortuantely, without thinking I gave them a whole ****load of personal information that I regret.
It turns out it wasn't from Ebay at all! I contacted the 3 credit bureau's, etc. But damn, that was was very convincing!
Does anyone know if you can change your driver license number? </div></BLOCKQUOTE> |

Yahoo is having some of the same problems!
If you use Yahoo and get an email stating that your account has been suspended don't open.
CS said to verify that it is from Yahoo the email address will contain @yahoo-inc.com

Not an option. File the police report -- you'll need the case number when dealing with your new creditors when and if your identity is used.
I went through this last year. We had a workman in our home doing odd jobs. My old military ID and other service-related mementos were framed and hanging in our home. The military ID has my SSN on it.
Today that framed collection is in the closet, everything that's personal and thrown away is shredded and our mailbox locks. Scumbags are everywhere. 
Sorry to read you're dealing with this.
