OT- I lost my wallet at the mall yesterday

jasin4000 · Dec 27, 2005

Can someone help me out with some of these question....

Had everything in it, lisence, SS card, bank card, neteller card......and other cards for stores that i dont care about....and like 150 in cash.

I already cancled my bank card...

How do I go about doing(cancle) the other things?

Do I just call neteller and tell them to send me another card...and for the SS card, do I have to call someone to tell them to like watch for credit card applications and what not?

this happen to anyone before, that had to go through this process....

still cant believe i lost it

Call neteller have them cancel the debit card.

Call equifax and have them put you on a credit monitoring status. This means that no one can sign up for credit with your number unless verifying details with your secret code or phrase.

Just get a new DL.. Not much one could do with it.

YOU MUST DO WHAT BASEBALL GUY SAYS. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO PROTECT YOURSELF 100%. IF YOU DONT YOU ARE SUBJECT TO IDENTITY THIEFT AND WHEN THAT HAPPENS YOU ARE IN FOR A WORLD OF HURT.

It would be nice to just get the stuff back minus the cash, about the best you can hope for, really. Sometimes people throw it in a mailbox... minus the cash, and PO will call you, or call them... worth a try.

Most importantly, call Social Security and tell them what happened. Your SS # is your lifeline, and use of this could create your worst nitemare.

Don't have the number for equifax but just google it.

No you can't get a new SS number.

unfortunately it falls into the wrong hands best you could hope for is loss of cash only.

Good Luck Jasin! My heart goes out to you! I lost my wallet once in Texas and a nice lady got a hold of me and returned it and wouldn't take a reward since I was in the Air Force. Maybe , hopefully will happen for you! :103631605

The phrase is just for signing up for credit.

Sorry to hear that. The good news is the mall is not the worse place to lose one's wallet. It's not like you lost it at a bar or strip club.

You probably already did this, but contact mall security and leave them your phone number for contact.
You could also try a posting on Craigslist lost and found.

To anyone else carrying around a SS card or number: that's a bad idea. Memorize your number and burn your card, or lock it up at home.

sorry to hear Jasin....I think you are taking the right steps though ...many years ago I lost mine it is a royal pain in the AZZ

good luck

it is an awful feeling. the advice is covered but maybe double check with the last couple of stores you think you used it at and maybe your car or somewhere in your house it may have fallen out. you never know.
