Aw, crap

DH got a letter in the mail today from Best Buy, congratulating him on his purchase of a new LCD TV, and encouraging him to sign up for Geek Squad support.

I texted DH to ask about it, because my first thought was that he'd gone out and bought a new TV to surprise me (since he's been talking for awhile about getting one).  He said he knew nothing about it...and maybe we should check our credit.

I took another look at the letter....and there's a Product SKU given, a purchase price of $279.99, and a purchase date of 2/12/2011.

We can't find this purchase on any of our credit cards, so we're thinking someone got DH's info and opened a Best Buy account (or a credit card) in his name.  Crap.

Re: Aw, crap

  • Oh no!!!  Did you contact best buy yet?
  • DH is going to, and he's also getting copies of his credit report.

    I figure he probably needs to do it, since it's his name that's on the letter.

    Oh yeah, duh!  I hope he can figure out what's going on.  I wonder if they could figure out what store it was bought at...and look at security cameras to figure out who it was.

  • Oh no. I hope it gets sorted soon before they run up anymore charges. Hopefully they didn't open more accounts.
  • Hopefully they can get it resolved. I do hope they haven't opened anymore accounts. That is very scary that someone has able to open an account. I don't know if it is possible but I think Best Buy needs to pay for credit monitoring for a while since they let someone open an account without any id or anything (I always thought you needed somekind of idea to open accounts).
