(ARA) - In what has been called the largest credit card fraud bust in American history, 11 people were recently indicted for stealing up to 40 million credit card numbers. Could yours have been one of the stolen numbers?
The 11 defendants from around the world allegedly hacked into the computer systems of 9 major American retailers, including book stores, office supply stores and clothing stores. These credit card profiles have been for sale on the black market, resulting in a massive amount of fraud and identity theft.
Because of the scale of the theft, it is very possible your credit, and possibly even your identity, has been compromised. The number one way to detect identity theft is to check for errors on your credit report. If someone has been fraudulently using your identity, making charges and opening accounts in your name, it will show up on your credit report.
The Federal Trade Commission recommends you deter identity thieves by monitoring your financial accounts routinely and reporting ID theft as soon as you notice a problem. Checking your own credit report does not hurt your score.
Find out if you've been the victim of the latest wave of credit card thefts that have affected millions of Americans. Check your updated credit report and score now at GoFreeCredit.com and sign up for a free trial of their credit monitoring service to protect your identity. You'll be notified immediately if there are any fraud attempts on your credit file.

Scam Alert
Scam Alert!!
Be aware that there are individuals using Corporate Research Internationals good name to perpetrate a scam on unsuspecting consumers.
Consumers are receiving fraudulent letters offering, among other things, a mystery shopping assignment to evaluate a money transfer service (click here to see an example of the letter).
These letters use Corporate Research Internationals name and website address to establish credibility with the recipients and are accompanied by a cashiers check for several thousand dollars. In the letter, shoppers are instructed to cash the check at a local bank and then wire the cash to a designated location while keeping several hundred dollars for themselves as payment for the shop.
This is a scam! The cashiers check ultimately bounces and the shopper is held liable for the funds.
If you or anyone you know has received a similar letter, please contact local law enforcement or the nearest FBI regional field office to report the scam attempt. Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!
We also ask that you inform those friends or family whom you know to engage in mystery shopping to be on the lookout for this type of fraudulent offer.
