Carl, Chase bank numbers were rippied off earlier this year.
My card number was used in Brazil.
Someone called Chase to try to get through security questions to do identity theft and failed the screening.
Chase called me at that point.
My social sec number, and heaven knows what was sold.
As Chase has my mortgage, there may be endless info involved.
My advice to everybody is to freeze your credit by writing letters to experian, transunion and the other reporting agency. There is no charge if you have been compromised or are a senior. You have to call one of the agencies in order to approve any additional lines of credit.
