Id Theft Accounts - Colorado Consumers
From: http://www.bbbonline.org/idtheft/stories.asp
Article #1:
"On April 3, I answered a newspaper ad in (for a financial services company). Two weeks later, I was called back by another financial services company and told I was approved for a $200,000 loan. The (second company) sent me my loan agreement. I signed and faxed it back, and they asked that I wire my security deposit (of $3,500) to my lender in Canada. I did so and never received my loan like my contract says is going to happen. I contacted (the first financial company) who... said that he had contacted the lender and the funds were ready to be transferred into my bank account. I waited six hours and (received) nothing. I then contacted (the first company) again and they said that the lender wanted another $4,000 from me. I told him 'no', that is not what my contract says and (I) demanded that my money be returned to me. He said that that would be fine, but it would be 14 days. I have called (the company) on several occasions and cannot get anyone to return my call. When they find out it is me -- or someone who is representing me -- they hang up. In talking to the attorney general here they say it is all a scam out of Canada. I have since... had to put a fraud alert on all of (the) credit bureaus as well as file (an) identity theft alert."

Article #2:
"I contacted (a financial service company) by phone regarding a case of fraud/identity theft in December 2002. Purchases totaling (nearly $5,000) were charged in my name without my knowledge. Per (the financial service company's) instructions, I also faxed my request/complaint to (a credit reporting agency) to investigate the matter and remove the charges from my credit record. I was told I would receive some acknowledgement or response in 3-5 business days. Despite calling again twice... I have neither received a response nor was anyone willing to help me resolve this issue. I was told... that I would at least receive a response in 3-5 days both times. This issue is still outstanding and remains on my credit record. I have not been able to resolve this situation in a timely fashion despite my repeated efforts. There have been no attempts by the company to inform or help me in these matters... I have repeatedly asked to speak with someone perhaps a manager) regarding the matter and (have been) refused and even hung up on. To this date, I have received no explanation as to how these charges may have originated and what can be done about them." (This story posted online on 01/05/04)
