The crook answered “Yes”.

I'm not a social media user but as near as I could tell they got the information from instagram? A few days earlier, my colleague Rob Price had published a terrifying story about hackers who waged a campaign of harassment and intimidation to steal Instagram handles and other coveted usernames on social media. Tucked into that story was a phrase I hadn't heard before, a type of hack I'd had to look up: SIM swapping. I was unable to get around the firewall for Rob Prices story.

The credit card company canceled my card and mailed me a new card. I didn't even receive my new card in the mail yet to activate it and they already had 2 charges against the new card before I even received it!!!!! Had to have the credit card company cancel that one also and send me a now 3rd card. 1963 Belvedere 440 Max Wedge Tribute 1970 Charger R/T S.E. 440 Six Pack 1970 Challenger R/T, 528 Hemi 1970 Charger 500 S.E. 440 4 BBL 1970 Plymouth Road Runner 383 1974 Chrysler New Yorker 440 1996 2500 RAM 488 V-10 4X4 2004 3500 Dually Cummins 4x4 2012 Challenger R/T Classic.
