After the stress of hearing from cousins back east, that someone claiming to be me asked for money, cos I was "in Montreal" and was in trouble.... they obliged, then.... THEN realized it wasn't me as I had updated my facebook status about watching snow from my desk at work....not in Montreal.
Long story short, my boss was great. In a panic told her I'd have to put the company phones on voicemail and make a ton of calls before they all closed for the night. Once all my cards and bank account were closed, credit bureau's and police called and a fraud alert put on my name. I went home.
...Only to end up making myself sick with the stress that my family had fallen victim to this and were out a few thousand dollars. Again, my boss rocks. She completely understood the importance of getting this taken care of. This is my identity!!! Plus, work, migraines and nausea are not a good combo.
The roommate was so sweet to me too. I texted him while he studied in his room, asking him not to do his dishes that night, the noise from it might actually make my head explode as I laid on the couch in the dark, cool room, watching tv on mute. (not knowing why or what was stressing me out).
Now, don't let it get out that my roommate has a sweet side. He has a reputation of being a jerk to protect. I woke up Friday to a note on the coffee machine, telling me to feel better. Followed by a few text messages of him checking up on me throughout the day. Can we all say "awwwwwww".
I've spoken with the cousins since Thursday, and we've all done all we can do at this point. Should there be a chance of this person getting caught, we'll all press charges. Sadly, it's unlikely this person will ever be caught.
In the end it comes to this. We're alive, safe, and healthy. That is unless my identity is used for something else, then I'll track this person down and hurt them.
