So, I get a call a couple of days ago from Citi bank saying there is some unusual activity on my CC. My Citi bank Visa probably gets used less than any other card I use regularly so when someone charged $100 to T-Mobile in Oregon, $100 to MetroPCS in Texas, $500 of AMEX giftcards, and a pizza for someone here in Taylor, Michigan over the last couple of days they thought to give me a call. They closed out the account and I have new cards on the way.
I thought this was the end of it, but my son calls me up just now and says that $500 worth of AMEX gift cards just came in the mail to the house he rents from me. He says they're in his name and they show his cell phone number.
He sometimes uses a credit card of mine to pay a bill then will give me the cash and he usually does this through a web connection over the phone. The only thing I can think of is that someone cracked into a sim card he might have left in a phone when he had to do an warranty exchange. He says he is in possession of all his old broken cell phones that weren't under warranty.
What's your guess?
