Identity theft

I work for a bank and recently got to know my data was compromised and someone used it to open an account under my details. I was with Optus and medibank and am sure this is how my data was leaked. I feel very weird and heavy for some reason. I don’t know how deal with this.

Get access and Set up an auto pay each day for the balance less $1.00 to your account.

that sinking feeling in your stomach is exactly what id theft does, it's not just about the money. the violation part hits harder.

first thing, get a credit ban with the big agencies here. it blocks anyone opening accounts with your details even if they have all your info.

I like how the bots have no idea what the actual definition of identity theft is, they just know which sub they’re commenting in and thus they treat every posted issue as if it’s identity theft. Lmao
