Fraud Alert!!!!

I have a credit card opened without my concent. After many hours on the
phone with the bank and credit org. the matter was resolved and the account
closed. During this time I asked to find out where the fraud was coming
from. The best they could come up with is it was started in the
Philippines. I did not think much about this until I called *2 on my sprint
phone and got a voice not of this country. I asked where they where at and
guess where? the Philippines

This has just happened (call center in the philippines)since the merger
with nextel. Sprint giving their customers info to a thirdworld country
where US laws do not apply. I have to check my credit report daily now and
any sprint customers need to do the same.

Just a note I could not get a customer service rep in the US after 2.5
hours of tring.

Alway ask for someone in the US when calling customer support for any
company. I did this with Delta a few weeks ago and wala I got a woman in
Atlanta,Ga. and got helped right away.

be aware when you give your personal info over the phone to what country it
is going to!!!!!!!

So, lemme get this straight ... You add 1 plus 1, and get 26 with your
circular reasoning here. What confirmation do you actually have, to say the
two incidents are related?

I would think that if the OP happened to make a credit card payment over
the phone and gave out his credit number to a Sprint rep in the
Phillipines (BAD idea by the way, especially since you can pay your bill
online, or by Vision Browser, and clearly the OP has 'net access), then
the circumstancial evidence is pretty convincing.

I don't know what making a credit card payment has to do with anything.
The OP stated that a new credit card account was opened in his name, not
that there were fraudulent charges on an existing account.

I don't think you can open a credit card in someone else's name just by
having a credit card number. You would need the SSN; information which
obviously SPCS gathers for each account holder. Whether that number is
displayed in SPCS's CRM/CS systems, I don't know (but I would hope it
only shows the last four numbers).

any payment or any other pertainent information, nor has ole bubba replied
to this thread.

WOW you got me trolling for spammers

I would just ignore the post and not do the credit check.

This did happen and I did not say that I know sprint leaked my info, but
you have to admit it is strange that the 2 events are so close.

Oh and I don't read this or any other news group every day. I guess I
have other things to do with my time. Some do like to live on the nntp
side of life.
