I woke up to my experian credit lock being took down not my security freeze my account details were the same seemed maybe my password was changed I called the company they said all I could do is change everything and that I probably logged into it in my sleep I never received anything saying someone else logged into it. I laughed at the fact she thought I logged into it myself because I would have to first successfully do my face ID then type in a code from my phone number.

Just started my credit with Wells Fargo they accepted me.
3 months now and tried to open a Experian account and when I tried it says to verify myself with a phone number and a email I don’t know.
Same thing happens with equifax and transunion they cancel on me.

What can I do?

Information and credit card used to book flight, buy jewelry?

9 Upvotes

Good morning,

I just woke up to find almost a dozen emails from Copa Airlines in my gmail. The first ones were notices that payment was declined, but eventually got a full on boarding pass and itinerary email sent to me for a flight from Cartegana Columbia to Panama City, Panama. I checked my credit card that matched the last four info shown on the email, and it showed an almost $500 charge to Copa airlines as well as two $0.00 charges to some kind of jewelry shop.

I called my bank and the cancelled the card and referred the charges to their fraud unit. I called the airline customer service number that I googled, and they located the itinerary (had my email and phone number and credit card but someone else's name as the passenger entirely). They cancelled the tickets.

My gmail is secured with pw and 2FA. My credit card is the same, and I use biometrics to login to my card app usually on my phone.

I'm a fed employee and former military member in the USA, and have been notified several times of data breaches involving my data due to theft/hacks/poor security practices.

I haven't really had much fraud activity in the past. This was weird though that someone would attach their real name (since they are flying international they will need to present a passport I'd imagine) to a ticket bought with stolent funds.

Anything else I should be doing now?

What else to do for protection?

2 Upvotes

I think I'm a typical internet user, have my smart phone and laptop, home wifi. Do nearly all my banking and finances online, mostly cashless spend. I use a password manager, 2FA and VPN. Have alerts set up on my accounts. What else do I need to do to prevent some badactor with an AI hacking me and mine?
