All:
I will make this scenario as brief as possible. Last night an online school I am taking classes with atempted to make a charge to my credit card and the transaction was declined. I called the credit card company to investigate the issue and, while verifying my address, they informed me that my address had been changed and I had been a victim of credit card fraud.
The card has been cancelled and a fraud alert placed with all 3 credit agencies. No charges were made on my card and no one has attempted to open an account in my name.
I am in Fallujah, Iraq and keep my credit cards locked up 99% of the time. The only part of the address I could get out of the credit card company was that it was in Texas. I work with a lot of people from Texas here. My question is this, how do I go about pursuing the person who did this to me from over here? I am technically on a Federal Reservation but I don't believe the MP's can do anything and our company's security is worthless. The credit card company does not pursue these things either.
Any ideas? I want this clown strung up, but I think I'm just going to have to be happy being lucky it wasn't worse. Any Federal LE officers have some advice? Anyone stateside I can contact that can help me? I'm a civilian contractor over here so I don't believe D.O.D. will offer me any assistance either.
Thanks for any input!
