Identity Theft

by atiqulhoque | 22 Dec 2017

I guess finally my name is added to the list of 41 million Americans who are victims of stolen identities. Someone opened credit card twice in Kohl’s (https://www.kohls.com/) using my credentials. First time, I was able to cancel the card before it was used but second time the card was used before it came to me. I guess whoever opened the account shopped using the temporary card/pass on the same day. I reported and I was told that I won’t be liable for the card balance but this is scaring me. I will report this to my local precinct ASAP.

Silly Talk

When he was learning to speak instead of saying I went there my eldest son, Mahir, used to say I goed there. Inspired by his innocent mistake I created two more words tolded and sawed. For example, I tolded you to go to bed but I sawed you playing instead later. Then...
