My parents once had someone they know steal and forge a check. The sad thing is that they probably would have given the money if this person really needed it. Fortunately, they were able to settle out of court since the person was able to pay them back. I don't know who it was because they didn't think it was important to tell us who, just that we should stay on top of this stuff (of course, that was in the old pre-online banking days when it was harder to be neurotic about transactions). Sounds like you handled it well! Ick! My parents once had someone they know steal and forge a check. The sad thing is that they probably would have given the money if this person really needed it.

Also: Make a police report and then report the crime and your police report number to the Federal Trade Commission! I did that. Once you put a fraud alert on your credit report, you are entitled to another free credit report.

Only, we found out that someone at the Pizza Hut call center had used our debit card number and charged an extra $100 and pocketed the cash! I was like, uh right....I didn't just spend $124 on PIZZA!!!! (And, that was the LAST time I ever used my debit card over the phone. Stupid, I know.) Thankfully our bank investigated, gave us back the $100, and got the guy fired since we weren't the only ones that he scammed. Anyway, I wanted to tell you that if you go to www.freecreditreport.com you can check all 3 reporting bureaus free. So, what we do is check 6 times per year. All 3 in hubby's name, and then all 3 in my name. But, we space them out and do it every other month or so. Sort of like a free credit monitoring service! :) <em>Kristy (MomsMakinCents)'s last blog post..</em><a href='http://momsmakincents.blogspot.com/' rel="nofollow">Grocery spending re-cap (Kristy)</a> I had that happen too!
