Last week’s news put furrows in my brow. As I ruminated on the headlines and details in the news accounts, I came away convinced something is out of whack somewhere.
Overnight, Christy Eichelberger became an identity theft victim. A hacker spent $1,300 of her money on virtual reality game pieces – items she knew nothing about.
A week after Allyson Nielsen, 25, and her fiancé moved in August 2015 from their Chicago, Illinois, apartment to a new one about four blocks away, she found out she was a victim of identity theft – as if moving isn’t stressful enough.
After receiving a call in January 2017 about a past due payment, Elizabeth Bell quickly realized something wasn’t right. She soon found out someone had opened a card in her name through Amazon, spending $1,800 in less than two months.
