I have been a victim of ID Theft that began at Best Buy in Bakersfield. Best Buy was not cautious enough to verify that all of the information provided to them for an application to obtain a credit card was incorrect. They should have detected signs such as my date of birth, Driver license number. Also how can my phone home number be one in Bakersfield when my home address is over six hours away, where we have a completely different area code? In conscience to them over looking these and other red flags, I now have two credit cards that where obtain through Best Buy and used for purchases that same day at this Bakersfield store totaling over $5,200.00 of flatulent activity under my name. I honestly think that all of this could have been prevented if the personal would have been more cautious.
