Does this count as identity fraud?

Identity fraud is pretending to be someone else.  This doesn't count as identity fraud, however, he can be charged with attempted breaking and entering since he tried to enter your home without your permission.

No, mail fraud and identity theft occur when the sender impersonates somebody else.

That stuff is listed in phone book; as long as you didn't give out info like ss#, bank accts., credit cards, you will probably be okay.  If you are that concerned you can call one of the credit bureaus and ask what their policies are on unusal activity regarding your credit.  If you report it ahead of time this may help you with any liabilities in the future.  Good luck.\n\n I hope you didn't give any bank info to this man.  If so, call your bank tomorrow and explain situation.  Cancel acct. and wait to reopen a different one till you call soc sec..  Call soc sec. office and explain what happened and that your # and info may have been compromised. They will probably have a new one issued to you.

This is likely a "phishing" email, designed to steal personal information from you.  DO NOT click on any links or reply to this email.\n\nUnfortunately, Yahoo! and other email providers can only do so much about these attacks.  I strongly encourage you to open the provided link from JP Morgan Chase about identity theft so you can report this particular case.

Basically it boils down to the fact that HE signed YOUR name. That constitutes fraud. Not whether it is a joint account or blah blah blah. That indeed is forgery. Now the fact that he just did a deposit shows that he was not being malicious. Is the money still there? No harm done. If it is gone, then hit him with the forgery charge.

You may have bought them and forgot or they somehow got your info and are billing you illigally.\n\nMake sure you don't give out your personal info if you don't know exactly what they are using it for.

What about applying using the Federal ID number of your business.  They need some way of identifying who you are and your payment history.

If you're lying about it, yes. You'll get in MAJOR trouble, as that, itself, is Social Security Fraud.\n\nBut, if you're going to report somebody for real, then most likely, you won't get in trouble. They may ask you some questions, but for the most part, the only one in any real trouble will the the one doing the fraud.

No. You've got either spam or scam. Just report it.

It is spelled fraud. Contact your credit card holder immediately and have all activity stopped and cancel the card.\nThey will issue you a new one in a day or so.

My company works on Identity theft. The things that the other people have posted here are good steps to follow.\n\nBut I wouldn't stop doing internet transactions. I have never known anyone becoming a victim of ID theft from doing transactions over the net accept for when the company you are doing business with gets hacked and that can happen to any company whether you use your credit card on line by phone or in person.\n\nThe average Identity theft case takes an average of 600 hours and $1500.00 to clear up and even then you may not get the problem solved.\n\nWhat everyone needs but almost no one has is Identity theft protection.\n\nEmail me at ChuckBaker11@yahoo.com and I can give you more information.
