Monty Posted September 5, 2023 Posted September 5, 2023 A friend of mine just notified me that he saw someone on Snapchat who has my first name and my land line phone number attached to their avatar. If it's going to be a problem, what do I do?
stitchdup Posted September 5, 2023 Posted September 5, 2023 contact snapchat and tell them someone is using your number and that they are completely unknown to you. they should remove the avatar
BlackSheep214 Posted September 5, 2023 Posted September 5, 2023 ID theft 100%. You should have acted immediately to Snapchat customer service instead of wasting your time asking what to do on here.

peteski Posted September 6, 2023 Posted September 6, 2023 OK, so what did you do the last time this happened to you?

espo Posted September 6, 2023 Posted September 6, 2023 On this subject. Yesterday I got a text from the guy who bought our old house a couple of years ago. He said he received in the mail a credit card from a bank he didn't deal with but had my EMail address with his name and our old address on the envelope. We agreed to destroy the card.
BlackSheep214 Posted September 6, 2023 Posted September 6, 2023 I had a postcard from the Post Office confirming I submitted a change of address 2 years ago. We immediately went down to the post office and told them we never submitted a change of address.

I don't know why but I thought you wrote "Believe it or not, it's not the first time it has happened to me, so I was clueless. " Looking at it now, the statement as I thought I saw it made no sense. but my brain was obviously not fully engaged.
