Thank you for the tip, though! I am resetting my passwords and checking daily, too. I have noticed that someone hacked into my internet via my router because I've been getting copyright infringement notices saying someone at MY ip address has been uploading music and movies (this was my own laptopn, not my son's, and none of us have ANY of the crap we were notified about, and Mediacom acts like they can't find out what's happening.

They didn't make any sense. Kept saying that you couldn't see my picture on my google account and wanted me to sign on and check it. I could my picture right there and I couldn't imagine that you would care whether you could see my picture so I figured it was some kind of glitch and ignored it. Must have been the hackers. Thanks for your tips - I've checked and I'm fine.

A gentleman I work with had all of his credit/debit cards compromised by (apparently) one of those scanners where you don't even know your wallet is being scanned. It was a nightmare and the thieves were pros. The bank said the thieves had created cards from the numbers.

I received my new card just a day before our vacation, which is good because Todd's wallet was stolen while we were on that vacation and I had the only access to funds to get us home. Challenging is not a fun job, and very frustrating. Another time my ex and I had two boxes of checks stolen in the mail. We had to challenge over 400 checks. What is so frustrating, you are not considered the victim. Yeah, that's right YOU are not even though it is your credit. The victim according to the law is the retailers. You just have to go through the mess to clear it up. Just sickening. <br><br>I will have to check my Google Account.
