I live in the middle of nowhere in the Northwest and somebody randomly programmed a card with my credit card number on it and ran hundreds through the account before I caught it. I'm lucky I check my bank accounts and statements daily...just a paranoid security guy I guess. Most banks insure their accounts against fraud so I was fortunate to get every penny back...a thief doesn't need to have a social security number to take one's identity, and that's a scary thought isn't it?

It is an extremely demoralizing experience that no one should go through. Unfortunately, everyone is vulnerable, no matter what your financial situation, job, or background.
