VA dodged that one, eh. :wink:

I put a fraud alert on all 3 credit companies sites - and got free copies of all three credit reports. Had no problems (as I suspected), but it was nice to get the free reprorts and double check.

Your Access to Free Credit Reports

Americans are now entitled to free copies once a year - I found several low level mistakes (addresses & age) - was reasonably easy to fix.

yeah i got one too. what i'm trying to figure out is how the hell the VA knew where I lived. I've moved 5 times since I ETS'd back in 2002. I never once contacted VA or anything... i didn't even do forwarding address w/ the post office.

hmmm... f*uckers are watching me.

That's five years after I was born. I may be an even older fart, but I'm a retired old fart. Hows work?

It said in my letter that they used IRS to get my current address..... It also said that the IRS didn't disclose any of my financial info to the VA..... :roll:

Bottom line, they can find you no matter where you are!!!!!!

I'm a little worried about the theft.... My last name starts with Abb, so I'm at or near the top of the list, if it's alphabetical.... [shrug]

I can help alleviate that fear. Please supply the rest of your surname, SS number, current address, bank and card info. I'll check it all out for you.

Work is fine! I'm in a position where I don't mind coming to work. Plus looking to get promoted, so I'm having a fine old time...

Besides, if I were retired and living the highlife, I wouldn't be here nearly as much as you are...

"Hmmm, what shall I do today... The world is my oyster, I can do whatever I want! I think I'll go hang at Tomshardware!"

I'm lucky in that respect - Trout is pretty close to the bottom. [/waiting for the inevitable]

You only get hang overs if you stop. Your lack of determination offends me.

Why is it that half of all Italian cooking is the best in the world... Yet the other half make the Scotts look like gormets? O_o
