American Credit Assistance ACA, Cardholder Services, Qualification Department, Lionel Foster; Robert Bristol; Celso Miller Identity theft; telephone terrorist Miami Florida
American Credit Assistance called me on 2/19/15 with the classic robocall: "This is a very important message about your current credit card account....". They did not identify themselves initially so in an effort to identify them, I played along and provided a unique/bogus ss# and birthdate. I provided them with the number of a Mastercard gift card that had a zero balance (and just told them it had a high balance, high APR, etc).
I got through three levels of screeners including Lionel Foster, Robert Bristol and Celso Miller, the latter identifying himself as a "financial advisor". Once I realized who I was dealing with, I ended the call.
Yesterday I received a letter via US Mail from Capital One asking me to contact them to verify my social security number to complete my "application". I immediately pulled my credit report and on 2/19/15 three different credit card applications were opened in my name with three different companies, including Capital One. I called Capital One and the rep confirmed that the application was opened using the identical unique/bogus ss# and birth date I provided the telephone terrorists at American Credit Assistance.
I subsequently filed a police report for identity theft and am requesting a 7 year freeze on my credit report.
Hoping someone else might benefit from my experience.
