Hi everyone, I'm not sure if this is on the right thread etc but I'm after a bit of advice.
This morning I discovered that someone has used my account on a furniture store to order themselves some bits. Nothing too expensive thankfully but not the point. I've called the company and arranged for refunds and cancelled my account for the store.
My emails are also suddenly filled with spam and emails from websites I've apparently signed up or subscribed to. Finding emails actually meant for me is like a needle in a haystack.
So I've written a list of sites I have accounts on, regardless of if they are online shopping or free accounts (eg social media) and will be creating a new email address and changing my details and all passwords.
Can anyone think of anything else that I should be doing? Should I delete my current email address and if so, how? And can you think of anywhere that might need my email address that I haven't thought of from looking through existing emails (eg doctors surgery).
Do I need to contact my bank about the fraudulent transactions? Even though a couple of requests for refunds have gone directly to my bank as the products were already shipped. And how do I report the bugger that stole from me? I have their address and phone number from the invoices emailed to me.
