Default Stolen credit card reporting?

Hi folks,

I just got one of those phony PayPal emails. Just for fun I like to track them to where they really originate. This time I found something really spooky...15 pages of credit cards, most of which look totally legit. (Some look like I would have filled them it at a site I knew was fraudulent.)

I've reported this to PayPal. My concern is that these cards truly are legit, newly obtained and written to a text file which wasn't supposed to be publicly accessed, and these folks don't know they've been phished.

Any suggestions of who else I report this to so that these folks and the credit companies and banks get protected?

I'd rather overreact than not do anything.

Thanks,
Kendall

Great job Kendall :)

There is a list of agencies to report information like this too. Any one of them - or ALL of them - are ready and willing to help.

List

Hope this helps
