I'm glad I haven't bought a Ford recently. Yes, I have a sneaking suspicion that Mohammed may belong to a certain . . . profile.

"With a few keystrokes, these men ... took their identities, ...and swiped their security"
So does this mean Poindexter has been charged again?

Happened to me in early 2001....Right when I bought a Ford.

Authorities say the scheme began about three years ago when Philip Cummings, a help-desk worker at a computer software company, agreed to give an unidentified co-conspirator the passwords and codes for downloading consumer credit reports. I wonder if that implies that the "passwords and codes" were good for a three year stretch. Almost everybody I know has to use the RSA SecurID number appended to their password(s) now. Which causes problems if you ever lose your "key"
but it prevents stuff like this.

It would be ever so nifty if several of the consumers who were ripped off turned out to be members of organized crime families. Now that would be justice...

Because these people caused such life-traumatizing to so many people, their lives should be traumatized to the point of death. Just get rid of them. Give them time to repent and get right with their Creator. But then remove them. Their sin is no accident.

I quit PayPal a year ago, and recently received an email stating that they voided a transaction because my bank account information was not up to date.
Word to the wise.

They immigrate here to steal from us. To defraud our system.

30,000 is certainly a lot but I remember a year or two ago when some hacker ripped off 200,000 credit card #'s from an e-commerce site.

This happens in health care fraud every day. Someone sells the list for cheap and the bad guys make a mint.

There are times when I wish I was a tort lawyer. Why is it that Experian didn't notice that a help desk jockey accessed 15,000 credit reports? Did that match up with his trouble calls? Of course not.
Simple auditing would have prevented a great deal of this fraud. Hopefully for Experian, a real tort lawyer won't think the same thing and start a class action lawsuit for a couple of billion dollars.
