Sorry to hear this. Did Tmobile reimburse you?

I managed to nip the ID Theft in the bud before it could develop. By porting my T Mobile phone #, the hacker was able to have a verification PIN sent to his phone. This gave him access to my Chase account. After he went in and changed the login to my Chase account, I received an email from Chase to verify that I had made those changes. At that point, I knew I had been hacked. I called Chase and canceled my accounts before any charges were made. The hacker also tried to open a new credit card account under my name, but the issuer called me to verify that I had opened it; so I was able to scotch that one as well.

At that point, I filed a police report, registered with identitytheft.gov, and froze my credit. I also canceled my phone # and got a new phone.
