A warning to all who buy parts etc. over the net.
Some one made two loans in my sister's name over the net.
They had gotten her Full Name, Address, SSN, DOB, Employer and Phone Number. One was made by an outfit called Think Cash in Houston, the other through Cash Jar in Santa Barbara, CA. They were for $500 each and with 198% interest and various fees the $1,000 is now $2,900. The cops won't help and she's had to hire an attorney to straighten out the mess with a collection agency who now owns the loans.
She's an upper level executive with a 6 figure income and has no need to borrow $1,000 at usery rates.
Guard you SSN with your life and keep an eye on your credit history.
This scks but it's a sign of the times in which we live.
