Stupid Story 01-19-06

Two weeks ago I lost my phone, then someone stole it. They placed two calls on it before I reported it stolen about 5 hours later. I was willing enough to let the matter drop... until tonight. You see, I had received a phone call on my wife's phone from someone who said they were calling from Sprint, and there was a discrepancy with my plan. They then asked me to verify my identity by giving them my password or social security number. Of course, I said no. She said that it's not a problem, and all I had to do was call Sprint back at 866-360-2159 before they went home for the night at 8pm.

I proceeded to call Sprint at *2 so I knew I was calling them directly and told the operator what happened. Of course he said they would never have called about something like that. So I told him I had a stolen phone and I believe they were trying to access my account so It could be reactivated and taken off the stolen phone list. As it turns out, while I was on the phone with him, someone else called Sprint saying they were me, but they didn't know the information to access my account, so they were unsuccessful. I told the operator to put my account under lock and key, and that I would not be changing my plan, and not to let anyone access or modify it.

As for me, I plan on calling 866-360-2159 around 3am everynight... just to say "Hi".

Ok, so you read this far, your feeling bad about my situation, but you know I can't post on here without something stupid to tell you, right? Right.

So, I called the cops where I lost the phone, which was about an hour away from me. I figured I would give my info over the phone just in case something were to ever really happen like credit fraud or something with my bank account.Anyway, you know what he says? I have to come in and file a report. I told him I was nowhere near him, nor was I planning on going back down there, so he says he can't help me. Fucking nice, ain't it? That's why people can get away with anything these days.
