Answer 1

You should be more concerned about contacting your credit card company and your local police and report this criminal incident. (You don't want to be held responsible for the charges). Let the forensic computer experts in the police dept. deal with this criminal act.

There are so many things you need to do to protect yourself that you don't have time to deal with them all. On average, victims of identity theft spend 40 hours cleaning up the mess that someone else created.

You have 5 identities that need protecting: Your Character ID, Drivers License ID, Financial ID, Social Security ID, and your Medical ID.

You need just 3 things in place to protect yourself. Access to an attorney (24hrs), your credit reports monitored and a company that provides identity restoration services.

Answer 3

I would think that contacting your credit card company would be the first priority on your list...

If you want to contact Yahoo's abuse department their address is [e-mail]

I would suggest that you take whatever evidence you have to your local District Attorney, police department, FBI office, etc...

I do not know what "evidence" you feel you have to "prove your case" but without proper evidence collection and follow through you won't have much chance of finding anyone to prove your case against.

You can also contact the Federal Trade Commission.. they handle internet abuse, spam, fraud, etc.

Also, first on my list would be figuring out what YOU did to provide your information to this person and close that security gap immediately... whether it is a lack of proper security on your computer or you replied to an email or fell for a phishing scam...


Good Luck
