I was checking up on my bank statement and I notice a few charges from the 12th of this moment from some credit expert company. I give them a call and it turns out 8 different people (or 1 person using 8 names) opened/tried to open accounts on consumerinfo.com and creditexpert.com with my credit card number, effectively trying to get my credit history.

I was charged a total of $75, which I am being refunded. But now I’m freaking out. Why was someone checking my credit history? What other info could they have gotten with just my card number? Fuckfuckfuckfuck.

When is pursuing an idea not feasible? I’m not sure where this all came from but I am curious to see what you guys think.
