I believe I have been victim of fraud. How can I protect myself from further identity or credit damage?
5324 asked:
A friend referred me to a travel agency for a good deal on round trip to the caribean. I purchased a round trip for about $100 less that online cheapest offer. However, the suspicious thing is I paid with check because they didn’t take credit cards. The agent cashed the check almost immediately because by the time I called my bank to cancel the check the money was out. Continental Airlines (website and over the phone) told me that the confirmation # I got from the travel agent was invalid. The travel agent seems to be long gone. She is not answering the phone.
She has my Driver license info. What can I do to protect myself from further damage?

I didn’t give the Social security #
My friend wasn’t part of the scam
