My wife had her credit card info stolen, and used it for about $3000, which was all that was on it. I recognized the site they used for purchases (also in Sweden), and called them up. They were very forthcoming and froze the account/purchases upon number verification (the card was already locked to be disposed at that point). They obviously couldn't give out any personal information to me, but they had information available on who it was for any police inquiry.
I relayed this information to the case handler, and yet immediately after I get a form response of "We've shut this case down since it's obvious there's no way to solve it".
We only needed the report to get our money back through insurance, but it really pisses me off that the police doesn't have resources to solve a case that I have solved for them, yet can spend _65_ officers on a political sham.
- Tepix 9y agoI've had the same thing happen with a flight that was booked with my credit card on the same day that I cancelled it (probably some guy at Mastercard making some extra money). Booking a flight seems like it's something that's very easy to track down who benefits, doesn't it?
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 9y agoPolice are pretty worthless in my experience as well. Once, some poor bastard had the misfortune to purchase a device stolen from my employer that I could easily track. I had GPS coordinates, identifying personal information, pictures from their phone, pretty much anything you could ask for, but nothing was done even after it became clear that this person was a meth dealer.
