The Move Begins

  • Article

Sometime later today, I'll be backing up the data on my computer and disconnecting it for our final move out to Redmond, Washington. We have packers and movers here from Wednesday through Friday, and we make our one-way flight to Redmond this Saturday morning. It's been a very busy few weeks. In addition to all of the move-related tasks, I found out Sunday evening that I've been the victim of identity theft. Apparently, someone used my social security number to open a line of credit and order items that weren't being shipped to me. I've had to contact the credit bureaus and the local police department. I'm hoping that this was discovered early enough to avert too many unpleasantries. Anyway, the next time I'll have an opportunity to blog will be from our new location. Wish us luck!

    Hope the move went well and you're settling in. Your presence will be missed.

    Was wondering how you found out about the Identity theft and how? Seems to be of a growing concern and the latest article I've read was that there was no initiative to really fix the problem.

    Good luck on the move Mike!
    Regarding the ID theft, I'd look in to one of the Credit Monitoring services ... Microsoft Money 2005 comes with a subscription. Not perfect, but when some requests your credit, you get notified.
