REGIONS FINANCIAL CORPORATION

New accounts created with my info. Has anyone tried logging in with their own info and just closed the account themselves? I keep getting emails that I have a new account and I need to confirm my email address for two new checking accounts created at Regions and Bank of America, where I don't do business. BoA was good about closing it when I called but then I got another email 2 days later. Regions made me fill out paperwork and email it in. Who knows how long it will take to process, and meanwhile the account is out there! I feel like if the account has been created with all my information including my email address (why did they even use my email address???) I would have enough info to get into the account and close it. Is this really stupid? I'm so frustrated with all the calling around and waiting. I've frozen my credit and I've checked my Equifax and there are no new lines of credit.

Grandparents were almost sure it wasn't me when they heard me stutter over a familiar word My grandparents received a call this morning from some woman saying "Guess who?" They guessed me, though they have many other grandchildren. Then they go on for about 10 minutes talking about the trip they're about to take to come see me, and she says "Guess where I am?" They ask her, and she says "Dominican Republic!" (I've never been there.) "Oh," they say, "but we talked to your father for two hours yesterday and he said nothing about it." "It must have slipped his mind!" Now, my father has a poor memory, but he would never forget his daughter leaving the country. According to this other me, I went on vacation with a girl friend (I'm engaged, and I can't imagine choosing to go with a girl friend over him--let alone that I don't *have* any girl friends). We were drinking and met up with two other girls we had never met and got in the car with them (and wasn't I just so embarrassed that I got into the car with two strangers?). Of course we ended up speeding (but don't worry, neither I nor my friend were driving) and got pulled over. And what happened but the cops found marijuana in the trunk! So embarrassing! Oh, and if I sound different, it's because I'm trying to be very mature about the whole thing, but I'm so embarrassed, so you can't tell anyone what happened. I just need $600 to pay the court fees (but it'll be refunded!--"Don't worry about that," my grandparents said, "I don't think we'll be seeing it back, but you're what's important.") or else I'll be detained for *6 to 8 weeks*. "You'll just need to go to a Western Union," I said, "but don't tell them the money is for the American Embassy. They'll arrest the workers; the embassy said so." "When do you need the money," my grandparents ask. "Two hours." "Oh, but it might take a bit longer. We have to find a Western Union, and I don't know if I'll have to go to -----(30 minutes away) or -----(60 minutes awa

Con Games in Virtual Space. A brief look into the EVE Online scamming scene EVE Online is a unique game in that not only do scams occur regularly, but when they do they are not punished by the game moderators; as all assets were transferred willingly, anything short of hacking someones account and giving yourself all their assets is fair game. In game based on spaceships and conquest, the metagame of deception is both accepted and necessary in order to further personal and alliance goals. This is not to say that everyone is aware of this metagame, many players living in the safe confines of high security space spend their time blissfully ignorant of the myriad of different cons out in the game universe. Players run missions for factions for in game money, mine asteroids, manufacture, and generally stay within the confines of their corporations (clans, guilds, whatever); many of which are small, specialized in a certain aspect of the game, and have limited interaction with the general player base, sticking to the safety of their cliques. This means that as long as there are people playing, there are marks to con. Here are a few points to keep in mind: 1. When you lose a ship in eve online, it is gone. Buy a new one if you have the Isk (money) for it. 2. The game is notoriously complex, making it easy to deceive marks with aspects of the game that they have no experiance in. 3. Everyone wants more of something, whether its a larger community, better quality asteroids, better npcs to shoot at and make money off of, better opportunities for pvp on a large and organized scale, and better modules to fit on their ships. Basically, there are dozens of ways you can hook people into a con. With that, here is a list of scams that I have ecountered in the game. **The Recruitment scam:** This is the scam I have the most experience with by far. The hook is that you find a player looking for a new corporation to join, you being in a large alliance that lives in lawless, sove

My adventures with physical access... Downtown L.A. Well, I don't know how I didn't think to check and see this subreddit was here sooner, but at least I finally found it. I figured since I just got here I would tell a bit about my adventures with physical access in downtown L.A. in the 2001-2003 era. I don't know why, but somehow while living in the area I ended up on a Sunday walk downtown, and was immediately mesmerized. You would think, that Sunday in downtown in one of the most populous regions of the United States that there would be lots of people... Not the case at all. It was barren, it was a random stranger either walking to what was sure to be a long work on a Sunday or back from a long nights work, or a homeless man just out for some change. It soon became my adventure land. I would go from building to building each weekend, see what I could explore and see, and what I couldn't. I learned that if you can make it past a front desk without being questioned, you can get into just about any high-rise there is. Get stopped? If they ask you to sign in do so under a fictitious name, if your good have a matching I.D. with you, or if they ask if you have an appointment you say "Yes, with Dr. Melbourne (you did remember to glance at the board and read that there was a "Melbourne Neurology LLC" on the 21st floor, didn't you?) Then pull out a phone and act like you are calling him, turn around and just walk out. I learned that back doors are open A LOT, and that going top down is the easiest way to get into something without ever running into a locked doorway. Parkour would theoretically be the ideal hobby for a social engineer interested in the physical side of things Anyway, just thought I'd reminisce a bit about the old days. The whole point is that the world is there for your adventure, you just have to grab the opportunity.
