My identity has been stolen. Again. Last month, someone used my Visa credit card to buy three $29 video games on the PlayStation Network. As much as I like video games, it wasn't me.
Visa's fraud department was on the ball. They told me the three simultaneous purchases from a single vendor in a single day was an anomaly. It tipped them off and they checked with me. On the day the purchases were made, I happened to be out all day in San Francisco and was nowhere near my PS3.
