Identity Theft

Over the past few days, I've found out that someone knows a lot about me.

• They opened an account on Ebay using my credit card number.
• They bought some gold using my credit card through PayPal.
• They started a website using my credit card to pay the fee for hosting.
• They know my social security number.
• They know who my mortgage is with and how much I pay monthly.
• They purchased and received my entire credit history from Equifax, using my credit card to pay the fee.

It seems like there are better things I could be doing with my time besides spending hours on the phone with vendors and financial institutions.
