Quick intro so you know what this page is:

I’ve spent 5 years in auto transport brokerage
and 2 years around car hauling/dispatch.
I’m not a carrier. I’m not here to sell you a dream.
A Reddit user shared this about their Venmo account…

They keep getting security warnings that someone’s trying to break in. Their post: ‘Whoever keeps trying to break into my Venmo, just staaaph. There’s no money in there. We’re both broke.’

Fraud departments never sound as urgent as scammers do. That tells you everything.

If your “bank” texts you a link, it’s not your bank. It’s a stranger with confidence.

🚨 If you start getting credit card / loan mail for someone who doesn’t live at your address…

DO NOT ignore it.

That’s one of the most common early signs your address is being used as a fraud drop.

And it can quietly turn into a nightmare.

This might be the wildest auto‑transport story I’ve seen yet.
A customer shipped their car across states. Everything was perfect at pickup.
One day later, their app shows:
• every door “open”
• trunk “open”
• overhead light ON
• vehicle offline

New fear unlocked: getting a bank statement for a bank you’ve never touched.

r/scams case: Columbia Bank mailed statements showing ~$25k.

Legit contact info. No promos.

Identity theft… or something weirder?

What’s the first move?
