WORSE CASE SCENARIO(Your Identity Stolen or something else..)
NOTE:the following story is real and it serves as a warning to all those people who doesnt take care of their private info and legal documents…
You might be the next victim of identity-theft.Im not really exactly a victim or whatsoever.But there’s a big question mark why my legal documents went gaga.

this week’s the most unforgettable week in my entire life.
Failing teaches us to learn from our mistakes but dont exercise it has a habit.Nada,that’s not good.This week gave me full of surprises.Let’s say all of these things happening were part of GOD’s TESTS. He may be watching from above and thinking why is that i can overcome his trials easily(no sweat).
My boss’ pissed (i know,even though he doesnt show it) because of my numerous alibis for being so disoriented.I know being really sick isnt an excuse.He pays me a lot but the problem is,im uber-stressed already.My mind wanted to do more but my body says STOP.
Last Thursday, i went shopping at a nearest outlet store during my 1-hr lunch break when a sudden jinx stopped by and played a prank on me.I was paying at the cashier for the items i bought and was so excited to use my debit card for the first time.i usually pay CASH.Just so i dont want my card to be another fungi’s abode in my wallet,i decided to use it for a change.
As soon as i swiped and pressed my pin number, the machine kept on declining it,like 3 times or so.I told the baglady to reserve the items and promised to pick it up the same day.
I ran to the nearest bank and asked about my account.The banker told me that SOMEBODY CLOSED MY ACCOUNT. i thought, “THAT IS BIZAARE”. So i keep on insisting to let me withdraw my money but the lady banker was so rude that she was bitching the whole time.i didnt fight back.i was calm explaining my side.(of course,i did that on purpose,remember guys,i can simply file a lawsuit).So they confiscated my debit card and was unable to go back for my pending shopping bag.
After lunch break, i seeked advice from Attorney(my boss) regarding that matter.It sucks though.im telling you.One of my worst moments ever. i also called my Mom and telephoned a friend from Texas to help me coz i really wanted to cry but im not allowed.MY BRAIN DOESNT WANT ME TO.
Everybody’s opinion sinked in and my reflexes are alert the next thing you know i was in the bank again,trying to liquidate everything to release my reserved shopping bag.
MISSION: FAILED.
The same b*** lady banker confronted me and told me that i have to request for a new debit card and i have to verify my social security number(i was like..what the hell is going on??!).
Friday,May 16,2008
I went to another branch of “MY BANK” and asked my Private Banker what’s going on.He told me that i have to send a Social Security Statement to verify that im the real owner of the number.He even told me that MY NUMBER MIGHT BE STOLEN BY SOMEBODY ELSE.
My mouth hanged open and the next thing i know i was drinking vodka in a bar near my office to celebrate my WORST WEEK. Come to think of it,its kinda depressing for my part coz im picturing the scenario of being a victim of identity-theft.What if my private banker’s hypothesis is true?What am i gonna do now?I worked so hard everyday for that money.I dont wanna lose that all out.
So in the next 4-6 weeks,im not gonna be able to get anything from my account due to its on HOLD,
Im not feeling well.
