January 3, 200917 yr QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 2, 2009 -> 05:48 PM) This just keeps getting weirder. I received today in the mail, a bottle of some sort of male enhancement supplement (also enclosed was a coupon for 30 minutes of free video online porn). Oh, and seperately, a custom t-shirt that has nothing but an @ sign on the front and the number 00 on the back. WTF? This shmo ordered stuff with my credit card, and had it shipped to me. WHY?!?!?!?! Now I'll probably get on mailing lists for all sorts of "adult" niceties. And no, in case anyone asks, I have never, ever purchased any "adult" stuff on the internet. Ok this is funny, and at the same time, it's not. Seriously, I wonder if the issuing bank can research where the order came from?
January 4, 200917 yr Are you sure it's not a friend that's sending you this stuff? Because the last part just screams a friend messing with you.

Well, since my credit card number was also stolen, that would be a really s***ty thing for a friend to do. Having to cancel your credit card is a giant pain in the ass. If it is a friend, they won't be a friend much longer.
January 4, 200917 yr Yea, if it was a friend they've pushed the line. I think its more likely its some young kid who lives in your neighborhood that stole your information and has decided to have some fun at your expense not realizing the consequences. That would be my guess. Maybe it isn't even a kid but its not someone trying to take your money more doing something they think is funny.
January 5, 200917 yr Did you do any of your on line shopping at work? I'd be thinking of any changes in your routine. Does the shirt fit? There is a 25% chance they got it right at random, but that could be an interesting clue if the person knows you or not. But Occam's Razor would tell us it was someone with easy access, family member or a clerk who you gave your card to, before some on-line intercepted purchase.
January 5, 200917 yr Have you called any authorities? Local law enforcement? FBI? Might be a good idea if this continues...or right now.
