WIREFLY.com BEWARE: Looking at carriers phones while logged i = DISASTER on credit reports Reston, Virginia
I wanted a new Sprint phone on myown account (was on my Church's).
Sprint wanted hundreds of dollars, Wirefly's was free with a $100 rebate.
Also look at T-Mobile's smart phones as a favor to a friend
AND at AT&T's phones for my grand daughter - her's is old.
Cingular has TWO credit inquiries on my report and T-Mobile has 1. Having difficulty getting these removed.
THANK GOD I have "Fraud Alerts" - no no one tried to obtain phones on my credit because carriers didn't contact me to confirm my identity. They simply tried to fraudulently use my info on Wirefly for the Sprint order to "sell" me services & phones I never ordered, never submitted, etc.!
BUT my score is further reduced. I have been *scammed 4 times in three weeks, even though I have never been scammed in my entire lifetime.
IS THIS "SCAMMER'S SEASON"?
1 & 2: Cingular/AT&T, T-Mobile,
3: TalentHunter,
4: A Safelist submitter that charged me $19.99 to email 200,000 and I never got 1 single hit to any of my websites, other services ALWAYS got me hits.
I am cancelling my debit/credit card and getting a new one JUST for my home.
I am getting pre-paid cards for online and business transactions (even harder to get refunds!)
ANY SUGGESTIONS?
