TrophyHusband 0 #26 July 8, 2008 just because what was stolen from us has been returned, doesn't mean there wasn't still a crime committed against us, but anyway its out of our hands now, as i'll explain in a minute. i don'y know what the bank is doing about it. i would suspect that they could try to take the money back from the collections agency, or try to collect from the person who tried to steal it. either way, i'm glad its not me trying to recover from either of those. i don't know how he got our info. we've been telling everyone invlved that our main objective is not so much to fuch this guy, but figure out how he did it so it can't be done again. earlier we were told that we needed to decide whether to have the military prosecute him or have the civilians prosecute him, but not both. security forces then called and said that they have all the proof they need to prove it was him, but they want to punish him "administratively" (i'm assuming that means non-judicial punishment), and they still want him to face charges in civilian court. they then called again saying that they've been in touch with the local sheriff and it is now out of our hands. on the one hand, that is a relief, on the other hand i still want to know how he did it.

AggieDave 6 #27 July 8, 2008 First things first; contact your county attorney's office. They have investigators, let them look at the case. They can bring up cases with out any other law enforcement interaction.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

piratemike 0 #28 July 9, 2008 Quoter how do they have the man-power to set up speed traps and enforce seat-belt laws but not the man-power to investigate a real crime? speed traps give them money. Investigating crimes does not. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quote 'm glad its not me trying to recover from either of those. Agreed, 100% Quote i don't know how he got our info. You need to be very careful with shops that use wireless to transmit point of sales info from the counter to a "backoffice" server. Hackers troll those things, big time, and most shops that are doing the wireless thing don't even realize it.

That's your call, bro'. Let him come look you in the eye, and then decide for yourself. Hats off the fact you've gotten this far.We are all engines of karma Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
harryskydives 0 #30 July 9, 2008 Did not read all the posts so you may have been told this allready. But If he is in the Military call his 1st sargent and ask for an appoitment to discuss this. Just to let him know.The more bees with honey than vinagar thing.. Any way the units I was in, you were more worried about the 1st Shirt than the IG... Don't run out of altitude and experience at the same time... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TrophyHusband 0 #31 July 9, 2008 fortunately base security was able to get enough evidence against this guy to have him charged. we put them in touch with the deputy that took the report and they are going to press charges against him. it really took little effort on our part to find enough info on this guy to determine that it really was him. it sucks that if we didn't do a little investigating he wouldn't have been charged for this.

TrophyHusband 0 #32 July 9, 2008 the first thing my wife did was have her first shirt call his first shirt. we also happen to be very good friends with his last first shirt, who just moved to eilson(sp?). i talked to him on the phone earlier and he said that the guy was a pain in his ass from day one and has massive money problems. base security has now taken this over and is going to give him njp and press charges with the civilian police. he old first shirt said he would have pushed for a court marshal. i don't care as long as he spills his guts on how he did it.

happythoughts 0 #33 July 9, 2008 Printing your checks: You can buy software to print checks on your home computer. If someone gets your bank routing number, they can print your checks with a number large enough to not have the banks computer flag it as a duplicate. They just need a fake id (easy to make) to match the name on the check. Getting your account number: If you mail a check to almost any company, you are taking that chance that your info can be copied. I pay almost all my bills online through my bank now. Many anonymous clerks out there. Also, to deposit another persons check, many banks require that you sign and put your account number on the back. The check then goes back to that person with your account number on it. What will the police do? Nothing. When someone did this to me, I was able to find out about it on the day by checking my online account. The person cashed a check at Walmart. I called Walmart and got the security picture of the person. I sat down with a detective within 2 days and was told, "We never catch these people. Fill out the paperwork and the bank will debit your account." "...but I have their picture." A month later... "Umm... we haven't contacted Walmart about this yet." Identity theft is the perfect crime because no one will try to catch you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
