My initial guess is that you have a virus on your PC that is acting as relay and keeps doing nefarious things from your IP. Or you have a neighbor that has hacked your wifi.
I'd unplug your router and then wipe your computer clean and change the password on your Wifi. Then plug in the router again and see if you get a new IP address. IF not, unplug it again and call your ISP and tell them the router is broken so they send you a new one, which hopefully will get a new IP. Oh and also you might need a new phone number as yours might be blacklisted now.
Then start making new accounts. In the meantime follow up with Fidelity because as a bank they have a legal duty to work with you and at least give you some clues as to what happened.
- nkurz 5y agoMost of these seem reasonable, but why do you suggest that he lie to his ISP by telling them his router is broken instead of buying a new one himself? You are casually suggesting he commit fraud to save $100. What are you thinking?
- jedberg 5y agoNot sure how their ISP works, but I pay a rental fee every month for my router, and the rep told me I'm welcome to change it out any time, all I have to do is tell them it's broken. I'm not allowed to buy my own router, and most big ISPs in the US work the same way. So I'm just repeating what AT&T told me.
