That way the fraudster could say, yes, I'm Dan, and I made those purchases in New York, even though I don't live there. More »

One after another, they keep popping up at his door. Brad didn't ask for them and doesn't know why they're there. Over 20 have showed up in the past three months. Sometimes three of the little envelopes of annoyance appear a week. They're credit card offers from Capital One, who seem keenly desperate to acquire Brad. Each of them gets sneakier and sneakier with fewer identifying marks on the outside until they almost look like regular mail from a real person.

A mom in Connecticut was concerned about the credit card applications her 5-year-old son kept receiving from Capital One, so she contacted the credit bureaus to make sure someone wasn't stealing her kid's personal info. She says she was told that a good way to get those applications to stop would be to actually fill one out. The boy would be rejected, obviously, and the mailings would end. But that isn't exactly how things panned out. More »
