The worse one, years ago. I did my bills in my office. I never had problems with the cleaning company I used. Course, I kept my papers locked in a file cabinet.
I started getting a few bills. Long story short, someone stole my
identity. He racked up over 30K quickly. Course the police and different detectives from creditors got involved. They finally caught the guy. They found over 12 more credit card apps in my name filled out and numerous other peoples info. It was a nightmare. One, they tried to pin many charges on me. I bet I signed my name 1000 times. They would come back and say certain charges are mine. I assured them I've never been to those places, fought. It screwed perfect credit up for years. I told these credit card companies to never issue cards in my name again by phone and letter, but later some did.
They arrested the guy. He was an illegal working for the cleaning company. He got out on bail and of course vanished. Two years later he did it again, even though it got caught early, he still racked up several more thousand dollars. Even then, it's almost happened a few more times, but was caught due to multiple layers of protection. Seems my info is sold around the world from time to time. I even got a new SS number.
