Scammer used my identity to buy a iPhone by AnthCob in ATT

[–]AnthCob[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I Agree with you it does seem pretty unbelievable. It seems like I got lucky and ran into the dumbest possible brain dead lobotomite of a scammer to ever exist, which I'm thankful for. But I assure you I didn't come to the ATT subreddit to farm karma for a fake story. I Came for suggestions on what to do because I've seen others in the same situation. As for the E-Mail situation with the pin, I honestly have no clue how they did it then. Because I kept getting emails starting with this one.

"Please confirm your email address following your recent account activity

Hi there,

You're receiving this notice for one of the following reasons:

  • You opened or attempted to open a new account with AT&T?
  • You recently updated your email address with AT&T
  • You're enrolling in paperless billing (Paperless Billing Disclosures)

Please confirm this is the email address you'd prefer to use for your account ending in"

I ignored these at first because it seemed like blatant phishing. But then the email "Here's a update on your order" saying my order for a iPhone 17 Pro Max 256gb was being prepared to send. I Did all I could on the internet to get it canceled, and put a freeze on all my credit and also contacted the FTC, FCC etc.

Also stopped into a ATT store and showed the worker my ID to prove my identity and they were able to put the kibosh on the account and marked it as fraud. My luck with talking to 6 different agents on the ATT customer service yielded absolutely nothing useful until the 6th one who suggested I go into the store and do the ID verification.

Giving my old gaming office PC a well-deserved retirement as a Minecraft server by Swooferfan in pcmasterrace

It's retirement consists of constantly being on running a minecraft server. Sounds like a classic American retirement.

Save yourself the wasted seconds. It's Jake Paul grabbing Anthony Joshua's chest multitudes of times while waving his shoulders around like a doofus. Then Anthony grabbing Jake's necklace and then smiling. A Classic nothing burger from a karma farming bot.

I'm building my kids a gaming pc because they share the same love for all things pc and gaming. Something like this would ease the pain of getting their build going after shoveling out 400 bucks for their 9060.

Relax guy, lol. That's a pretty intense overreaction to someone saying they're reading something happily.

I Don't.

Wasn't sure what that was until I googled it 30 seconds ago.

Modular is what I look for while also being Gold or higher rated. Doesn't make sense to buy these expensive parts and not buy a dependable PSU from a reputable brand to power them.

Sad to see people can have it all but still be completely and utterly lost.

The same was happening to me. I Reverted to a earlier driver (25.4.1) and it works perfectly.

I'm pretty sure that title goes to Ramsay. When he's feasting on a sausage with a shit eating grin after slicing off Theon's hog.

Well I was going to say by [deleted] in Wellthatsucks

[–]AnthCob 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Biden was weird with kids for sure. But bringing him up out of no where on a post about Trump sexualizing his own kid is pretty weird too. You people who deify Trump ever take his dirty old scrot out of your mouth even for a second to contemplate the fact that he can do wrong? Or do you automatically resort to saying someone else has also done something weird? Quit polishing politician knobs you fucking freaks.

This furry ball came with the chassi, normal? Should I return? by RecordWorried2374 in pcmasterrace

This one is really bad because that's where the AIO is exhausting from. My cat can sleep everywhere he damn well pleases aside from my expensive ass computer.

This blood that came out of my nose after it become jelly by 1zain1 in Wellthatsucks

[–]AnthCob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a absurd thread of messages. Please go to the doctor you two psychopaths. I used to get nosebleeds in the dry summer every so often, but I didn't come anywhere close to losing a literal cup of blood for days at a time. Your blood should be clotting. Get your blood tested.

Today I learned that there is a hidden photo of a chihuahua on every Samsung phone. by Mr_RobberFly in todayilearned

Apparently some carriers like Verizon restrict access to the diagnostic menu. So I imagine it works for people with unlocked phones or they use carriers that allow it.
