Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mort" data-source="post: 74499" data-attributes="member: 361">I received a phone call on my cell the other day, went something like this:Me: HelloCaller: yeah, is jackie there??Me: Who?Caller: Jackie....Me...ah..nobody by the name at this number...Caller: Yes there is....Me: Ah...no..you got the wrong number.Caller: No I don't..this is the number she gave out.Me: I'm sorry, but there's no jackie at this number, I'm the only one that uses this number.Caller: Well....she stole my credit card number and bought stuff from cableas and used this number on the order and is from xxx, nd.Me: This number orginates out of williston nd...sorryCaller:  Well..my number is xxx-0461  and yours is xxx-0462.Me: The thief gave the store false information all the way around, using your credit card and my phone number...wow....thats interesting.Caller: They'll be coming after you.. ( meaning the authorities)Me: They can't come after me just because my number is on the order, thieves do that to throw people off...I'm sorry.Caller: er.well  I guess not, but your number is associated with this sale.Me: I'm sorry...dunno what to say..but I have nothing to do with theft of your card just because my phone number is on the sale..I'm sorry. bye.What amazes me is...how in the world can cablelas let this transaction go through if the billing information doesn't match the card..unbelievable. especially if its a phone in order. I never did ask if he lost the card. My suspicious is the card number was obtained elsewhere at some place he used to purchase something and someone working at said business stole his number and used it or sold the number to someone else....its always an inside job to steal credit card info and use it..or it was one hell of a hacker getting into a stores credit card database. Or unless he lost it..but he didn't reveal how the card number got stolen and I didnt ask. I was about to tell him to tell authorities to go to the address the stuff was shipped to...that will pretty much lead you right to them..instead of wasting your time tracking a phone number. If it was me...that where I would have went with this instead of bothering messing with the phone number.  Your credit card company has the right to the copy of the transaction, they should be able to match everything up and if they finding anything suspicious, they usually squash the card  and issue you a new one.  then its up to their fraud division to seek the thieves out.</blockquote>
