Yep there's a huge very organized Chinese fraud ring, they stole my identity too.
Applied to TONs of networks and programs pretending to be me. Same MO as Mushroom said. Luckily some networks that do phone verification called to see if I was really me so I was able to figure it out. But could not stop it. Some merchants that don't know me thought I was the one doing the actual fraud. It was a mess for months.

In my case even when they changed the pay to address it was not even obvious because they were so smart they had PO boxes that sounded like real addresses all over the country. They set one up right in OC where I lived, so it would not raise much suspicion with AM's, they'd think I just moved down the street. I got that local mail house to collect and keep all their mail for a month and send me copies of all the envelopes. Those guys had TONS of checks from tons of networks made out to a bunch of different peoples names. TONS! We tried to get the FBI involved. I could not even get to anyone that knew enough about the Internet to understand the situation and how big this was. That was only one mail house. They had mail houses all over the country forwarding checks to them in China.

What I don't get though is how they could cash all those US checks in a Chinese bank, made out to a bunch of US names and some even made out to US company names?
