[StBernard] STEALING IDENTIES

[Westley Annis]

Everyone must also be aware that criminals ARE preying on the victims of the
storm.  My sister had her identity stolen after being housed in the FEMA
hotel/motel program.  The front desk clerk at the AmeriSuites in Dallas used
my sister's driver's license to try to open several lines of credit and
ACTUALLY bought a new car from a dealership in my sister's name and the name
of the scam artist (how stupid to think she wouldn't eventually be
caught)!!!  My sister only find out about the fraud when she went to
pre-qualify for home purchase.  Be careful, and remember, it's wise to check
your credit report frequently during this season of change.  Have faith,
though, and remember, it is only a season.  God will prevail for those who
believe!!!!!
