Had a young friend here earlier today, whose financial account information is
making it around the internet. Charges were made to her checking account from
a company in the UK (looks like a porno place or cheap dating service type of
deal - matchclick.com). The charges appeared yesterday. She has been offline
for the past several weeks, due to moving and a computer problem. The only
place this information was used was at AOL, for account service.
We talked to the local PD, and discovered that they are getting lots of
cases. Might not hurt to check your checking account or credit cards for
unauthorized charges or withdrawals.
