Solution: put them in a agriculture producing prison, provide no medical coverage, just a roof and simple food, and make them work, HARD, to pay us all back. When they get out, will they do it again? Doubtful!!!

I prefer putting them in prison where they spend their days breaking up rocks. They can grow their own food in the evenings after work.

assuming you live near a Nordstrom, I would go to the store and speak to a mgr, explain to that person that you can't afford the store except after Christmas sales, unless they all know you and they know you shop all the time. then just tell them this isn't your purchase.

same as best buy and Kohls. tell the mgr. that you shop at better stores and that you wouldn't have their cards to begin with. demand to see a copy of the receipt they will see the signature doesn't match.

Don't do any of that. Just report the fraud to the credit card companies and the police. You have no standing to speak with anyone at any store.

20? Wow, you much have one heck of a good credit profile.

A freeze and a talk with the police and cc companies will straighten this. With such a large spending spree, this crook will be easy to identify. Obviously someone who went overboard and will pay the price. With over $20k in stolen merchandise, should be easy to identify. I just don't get how they could apply to so much successfully, you usually need a license and a good understanding of the person.

I would say it might be someone you know/get in contact with/facebook friends with. Also, they might have a copy of your ID or was able to reproduce one in your name (working in retail, we always ask for ID when it comes to applications).

Yep. 20 credit cards, I've cancelled them all reported them.
As of right now, I'm just doing my daily stuff and I don't seem to be getting any more credit card bills since everything is on hold.
And if you guys read closely, it can't be any of my friends or any location close by because the charges were in Georgia. I live in California, which is nearly across the United States. I've never even been to Georgia in my life.

WOWZER. 20 cards. Hope it all work out for you, i am sure this is chaotic
