Background:

      My name is Bradley Dick and yesterday I found out that my indentity had been stolen. At 4:24pm yesterday my wife received a call from Discover that they need to speak to me about an application that appeared to be fraudulent. They would only speak to me so my wife emailed me the contact information and the case number. Being the security conscious individual I consulted the all might Google to see if the number they left is legit and I also call discover fraud directly and they validated it was their new card fraud department. Since I did a search on google and just about everyone that had a post about this number thought it was a scam, I can assure you that 1-800-347-3072 is a real Discover card fraud number so it is legit.
     I called the number and was able to speak to someone rather quickly. Her name was Sandy and she was helpful. The reference number they left for my wife was not valid so they looked it up by my name and the last 4 of my social. They verified that someone had applied for a Discover Card but did not use my home address so it was flagged and denied. She refused to give me the address that was used or any of the information but gave me a number and told me that law enforcement would be able to get the information. Despite every attempt she was not going to give me the information and make my search easy but at least she gave me the next step in the puzzle down the proverbial rabbit hole to my own private wonderland. This is where my story begins
