It happened at the Shell at Germantown Parkway and Cordova Road. All of his money was withdrawn in sums of $200 each from ATMs in the Hickory Hill area between 2am &amp;amp; 4am, several hours after he made his purchase at the gas station. And we live in Cordova, and both work day jobs...so needless to say, we were not in Hickory Hill at these hours. And it took over 2 weeks for him to get his money back. The worst parts of this are 1) when he filed the police report, the officer said he knew who my fiance was referring to (a large black man, dressed as a woman with long nails and a stupid bluetooth device in the ear, also, my fiance knew the man's name at this time because he had gone into the Shell station and asked another employee about the guy) , and the officer said that he/she had done the same thing at a Wendy's on Hwy 64. and 2) the guy is still working there, last we saw. These people are crooks and should be punished! It makes me so mad when I think of that man taking hundreds of dollars of someone elses money to go do who knows what with it! If you don't have enough money, get a better job! Don't steal from others!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So beware of the Shell at Cordova Road &amp;amp; Germantown Parkway. I don't use my cards anywhere anymore! It's not worth the risk. The criminals are barely even punished, obviously. And it's the banks that really lose. The crooks don't have to pay back the money they have stolen.</description></item><item><title>re: Police Say Germantown Waitress Involved in ID Theft Ring</title><link>http://community.myeyewitnessnews.com/blogs/speakup/archive/2007/11/01/2115791.aspx#2116642</link><pubDate>Thu, 01 Nov 2007 21:16:32 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">c55e6020-de53-4b6c-990f-08fb9756fadd:2116642</guid><dc:creator>Renee</dc:creator><description>She needs to pay for this without getting a slap on the wrist. </description></item><item><title>re: Police Say Germantown Waitress Involved in ID Theft Ring</title><link>http://community.myeyewitnessnews.com/blogs/speakup/archive/2007/11/01/2115791.aspx#2117237</link><pubDate>Fri, 02 Nov 2007 00:44:08 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">c55e6020-de53-4b6c-990f-08fb9756fadd:2117237</guid><dc:creator>shawna</dc:creator><description>One can only hope this girl will not go unpunished!

I am still burdened on occasion. I don't see any reason why there are not better systems in place with all the technology we have in this day. &lt;br&gt;I blame half of the ID theft problem on the credit card companies. They say they are working to solve the problems but they can't seem to get it right. &lt;br&gt;Why not just add a fingerprint scanner to the transaction terminal so when a person uses a credit card the terminal will verify both the card and the person using it. This would also serve useful when a person tries to use the card and is denied. A high number of incidents like that and the credit card company can then prosecute the offender with a great deal of success. &lt;br&gt;For online transactions a system could be set up where the user has to log in to their credit card account immediately after placing an online order and also from a different browser window where they would have to approve the transaction for the order they placed before it could be approved. YEA it is a little hassle but again the credit card company will have a trace by use of IP address and they can use that to prosecute.&lt;br&gt;These systems might be a little bit of a hassle but I think it is worth it for absulute protection.</description></item><item><title>re: Police Say Germantown Waitress Involved in ID Theft Ring</title><link>http://community.myeyewitnessnews.com/blogs/speakup/archive/2007/11/01/2115791.aspx#2139395</link><pubDate>Wed, 07 Nov 2007 16:10:31 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">c55e6020-de53-4b6c-990f-08fb9756fadd:2139395</guid><dc:creator>Bartlettman</dc:creator><description>Pretty23 you are one of the only ones that understand my sarcasm.

The girl was a idiot to get involved trying to beat a ruthless loan shark corporation aka credit card company. Then she was really stupid to admit it and tell on everyone. All you have to do is fill out a form if your card was compromised and you pay NOTHING ZERO. This is a sweet heart scam compared to the crook who really steals your identity and opens 30 accounts now that is real identity theft and is &amp;nbsp;a pain to clean up. The waitress committed credit card fraud which is a big difference. Let's save the jail space for people who rape, sell heroin and stick you up with a gun. Make her wash dishes in the restaurant for free for 2 years and chain her to the dishwasher so she can't get near a credit card lol. I am sick of credit card companies crying like little babies when they get beat. They are lowlifes way worse than these thieves using propaganda to convince us they are oh so good while they rob everyone with there high interest rates and not to mention every merchant has to fork over 2-7% of the transaction which we all know we wind having to pay because the merchant passes the cost of this theivery over to the customer.</description></item><item><title>http://community.myeyewitnessnews.com/blogs/speakup/archive/2007/11/01/2115791.aspx</title><link>http://community.myeyewitnessnews.com/blogs/speakup/archive/2007/11/01/2115791.aspx#2766131</link><pubDate>Sun, 16 Mar 2008 20:27:42 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">c55e6020-de53-4b6c-990f-08fb9756fadd:2766131</guid><dc:creator>Anonymous</dc:creator><description>PingBack from &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://frankthefrank.info/entry.php?id=kwws%3d22frppxqlw%7c1p%7ch%7chzlwqhvvqhzv1frp2eorjv2vshdnxs2dufklyh2533%3a24423425448%3a%3c41dvs%7b"&gt;http://frankthefrank.info/entry.php?id=kwws%3d22frppxqlw%7c1p%7ch%7chzlwqhvvqhzv1frp2eorjv2vshdnxs2dufklyh2533%3a24423425448%3a%3c41dvs%7b&lt;/a&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
