Cancel all your credit cards, immediately. Have them close your account, transfer your balances and issue new ones. Document everything. Identity theft is not a joke.

I'm not worried about credit cards. My checking account is my concern. I have talked the bank about the cards and checking. Now I'm getting [censored]. What is he/she doing with my credit??
Michael <- having plain scrambled eggs and toast with bacon

Indeed they are! When I was up in Iowa last year a particular breakfast joint made gravy for their biscuits with hamburger; it was very bland. And no, they didn't call it S.O.S. (which to me *must* be made with chipped beef!).

Not unlike how you call ground beef "hamburger" and I call it ground beef (or something else more exact like "ground round" or whatever?) Goomba
Depends on the beef but yes, I use it generically. Hamburger has the highest ratio of fat and is the least expensive. Ground round has much less fat. Ground chuck is somewhere in the middle but still lower in fat than regular "hamburger". (That's how it's labelled at my grocery store). I could call it minced beef or beef mince if it would make you feel better 😉

As a side-note, I ran across this recipe for Sawmill gravy from Alton Brown: 1 pound bulk breakfast sausage 1/4 cup flour 2 cups milk Salt and pepper to taste
Cook sausage in a cast iron skillet. When done, remove sausage from pan and pour off all but 2 tablespoons of fat. Whisk flour into the fat and cook over low heat for 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat and whisk in milk a little at a time. Return to medium-high heat and stir occasionally while the gravy comes to a simmer and thickens. (Be sure to scrape up any brown bits that might be stuck to the bottom of the pan, that's where the flavor is.) Check seasoning, add crumbled sausage and serve over toast or biscuits. Guess he grew up close to me! BTW, I always throw in a good heap of cayenne along with the black.
I just finished up a case of identity theft...the perpertrator is Washington Correctional Facility for Women after conviction. Here's what I did: Contacted the police where the id theft occured. You will have to make a formal written complaint. That gets you a police report with a number issued and an investigating officer's name and contact number. Provide them with all infomation regarding any fraudlent charges on credit cards, any new accounts opened, etc. I contacted all the financial institutions I deal with and forwarded them a copy of the police report and filled out all pertinent forms since a fraudulent bank account was opened in my name and the perp had bounced $10,000 in checks. I contacted all credit bureaus and immediately put an ID theft notification on my credit rating. They also were sent a copy of the report. I contacted all credit card companies....and discovered that there were unauthorized charges on some accounts. Upon receipt of the police report, they deleted all charges and notified the credit agencies. Since your SSN was fraudulently used, you need to contact the Soc. Sec. Administration...and send them a copy of the police report also. When you get a copy of your credit reports, it has the adresses you have lived at on the reports. Inform the police if any of those addresses are not yours. The perp may have slipped up (as in my case) and used his or her real address!
Keep copies all correspondence. You often will need to send copies of materials you recieve from other agencies and companies to the credit bureau, police agencies, SSA, etc.
