[DeTomaso] NPC If you get scammed on ebay

[George B]

I've done this as well. The only issue is you can't get a loan, change credit card companies, get insurance quote or switch cell carriers unless you unfreeze. Sometimes you have to unfreeze the reports for several days/weeks because you don't know when they will process the application. Still well worth the inconvenience in my opinion.

   All,

   Tangential to eBay scams is the real problem of identity theft. Perhaps
   the best and certainly cheapest -free - method to preventing fraudulent
   credit transactions occurring in your name is to freeze your three
   credit reporting company reports. I did this three or four years ago
   and it has already blocked one fraudulent credit card application.
