My Citi card was used to buy a very expensive camera using my son's name as the contact. Before it could be shipped to what was our home address, the purchaser then changed the order and the delivery address after ordering a far more expensive camera. Luckily the store owner thought this odd and called Citi who had their fraud claims agent call me. Three days later with old accounts closed and new ones opened I have had to go through the credit agencies to put a credit watch on all accounts. The spookiest part of this is that they used my son's name. The police detective I talked with said that teachers, police, firefighters and other government employees are especially susceptible to exploitation because so much of our information is on databases. What is shocking is how loyalty cards for stores like Krogers or Macy's or Kohl's are often sold as outright information for legitimate and possibly unauthorized use. All I can say is minimize your cards, keep check on them daily and know who you are dealing with. I am pretty sure my card went through a skimmer at the Krogers where I buy gas. It's simply a crapshoot on not whether you will get hit by this, but when.Ellen Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02845981491726296767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-20128176183693003752014-03-08T19:11:32.232-08:002014-03-08T19:11:32.232-08:00I have been saying that our district has been sell...I have been saying that our district has been selling our email addresses because if all the spam we get. muh higher than any other email address I have. plus they are all educational related.<br /><br />we have tried to flag them as spam, but they always come in.

Were formal grievances filed? This isn't a left or right issue, it's a "Is the district protecting employee records issue."
