cell phones are in my husbands name. We have 4 lines and all are listed in HIS name. Well, I decided a few weeks ago that I wanted my line free from his view. He was constantly checking my cell phone records to try to catch me up in something as he fears I’m with another person. That is not the case but I know he is checking so I thought it best to release myself from HIS lines.

Well, I called the cell provider and they said that only HE could allow me to release my number to my name. Well, I asked a friend (male) if he would call and pretent to be my husband and take care of this. He did so and they asked him to identify himself. My friend claimed that he was my husband. They asked for his ss# and again, my friend gave them my husbands information.

Here’s the problem. I admit that I have made the divorce very difficult for him and to be honest details don’t matter here. However, I now regret my decision to make this as painful as I have when it was me who asked for the divorce.

Regardless, I have a close friend that is also friends with my husband and he explained to me this evening that he saw my husband and that my husband had called the cell provider about this and they (through his lawyer) are providing him with the recorded call. I did not know the call was recorded but I’m sure (looking back) that I just overlooked this.

Any way, the cell provider states that if it was not him that I can lose the number as it was in HIS name and that I have comitted fraud. I believe he called it "subscription fraud". Our mutual friend also claimed that he has obtained a lawyer (just to get me in trouble no doubt) other than his divorce lawyer and is looking into having me charged with subscription fraud as well as identity theft. I do not run from the fact that I did do this to make him mad yet I NEVER dreamed what I was doing was that big of a deal. My husband is well connected around town and has a few high dollar lawyer friends/sharks that would be happy to take on this case at no charge to him.

Could I be in legal trouble when after all it was not me that made the call it was a friend of mine. I did not make the call. Could my friend be in trouble for doing so? My husband does not like this friend and would be thrilled if he thought he could get him in trouble. I also think if my husband could sue my friend for financial compensation he’d do so.

PLEASE tell me what I can do.

I am a Ebay Seller that selles Cell Phone & Aceessories. I don’t use paypal, but a credit card merchant acct. Recently my merchant acct got suspended for 180 days. Caused of suspension? increase of voulme and high risk product. Now, my acct has been suspended for about 2 weeks. In the mean time, I was still selling cell phones because they first told me that it was just a small review, so I thought everything would be okay. I have all the accessories in stock cos I bought them at a close out. But for an actual cell phone, I used a dropper shipper. Now, I have already spent all my lifetime saving to have those cell phone orders shipped out without any money being returned for another 180 days. But I am now out of my savings already. In fact, I am even getting kicked out of my apartment, too, cos I didn’t pay my rent but to ship phones. Now, I still have 40 customer’s order not shipped. They are going crazy at me~ what can I do? Even my bank acct is overdrawn. Am I committing a Fraud?
To people who are answering my question! I did not take people’s money. My Credit Card merchant never released the funds to me. They have the money and won’t return it for another 180 days because they suspended my account. I used a drop shipper, so normally once I recieved my customer’s money, I will send it over to my vendor and have them ship out the goods. But after they have suspended my merchant acct, I stop recieving money. So I have been shipping goods to my customers without any money depositing to my account. I was using my lifetime saving to ship to goods out. But now I am so broke & have no more money to ship the items. That’s why I am asking if I have committed a fraud if I can’t ship. Cos my merchant told me that it is my responsibility to have the goods shipped even if my merchant acct is suspended. But I am like "but I have never even recieved any funds from the purchase" Well, I did, I used my savings and shipped until I am now broke. Do I go to jail next?
I still have orders that are not shipped – Those customers are going crazy at me. I absolutely have no more saving to ship out their orders.. Unless my dear merchant release some of my money back, but that’s not due for another 6 months… I am so screwed
I signed up for a credit card merchant account, but not Paypal! Many years ago, I was only 18 yrs old. I have sold some of my own Clothes, Nikes, Playstation 2, DVDs and Games using Ebay via Paypal. For no reason in particular, Paypal at that time had suspended my account and had my funds frozen. The information they wanted from me was unobtainable, such as invoices for the merchandise I was selling which was difficult since most of the items were my own personal belongings. So paypal held my funds for 6 months and it was a horrible experience. After this, I decided to use a credit card merchant account instead of going through paypal. To your other question, I have order processed my customer’s order, they have already gone through the checkout system and paid. So after they’ve paid, my merchant should give me the money by depositing to my bank. But since my merchant acct has been suspended, of course the answer is no deposit, "but you still have to ship"
To you next question: Okay, Everything seemed fine, but then I realized that funds were not being deposited from my credit card merchant and I find out yet again that my account is on hold for some time for review (the holdup being due to chargebacks from several customers). Those chargebacks were looked into and I realized that they were from people that had used stolen credit cards. So cell phones were shipped out and chargebacks were done. My merchant concluded me as a high risk account, that’s why they suspended me. (thanks to those fraudulant credit card customers of course)
Answer question 1:
No I am not the person who sold you a bad charger. In fact where I come across a defective item, I will replace it for my customer.
To answer Question 2:
According to my first paypal acct, please go to http://www.paypalsucks.com You will know what I am talking about. But thank you for you advise

My ex never agreed in writing to help with college but he had said he would. Through the years I never pushed for all the child support I could get because I thought he would help with college. He paid her room deposit, took her to register and then the very next day said he couldn't pay that much and asked if she could go to a cheaper school. She found a cheaper school and then the night before graduation he backed out of all help. He paid his last child support in June and that has been it. He knows she takes monthly medication and he will not help with those expenses either. She has now chose a community college and is working to pay her rent, etc. The worst part is he sent his two step kids out of state to a private Christian college and paid for their cars, cell phones, laptops, etc. But his own he will not help with. Since it was understood all along that he was going to help and now he backed out, can I take him back to court for some type of fraud or something?
Even though she is working, according to all the government, I am responsible for her college until she is 24 or married. For that reason she is not able to file on her own next year with her income to get extra help.
Many of you have pointed out that 18 is an adult. However, my point in all of this is that he put his step children through an out of state private college and provided all they needed. I realize that at some point they have to be adults BUT the government will not let us do that. She is working, has her own place, etc. but the government will still not consider her on her own. I am angry because he stands up in church and professes to be a Christian, works in the church but he and wife are doing all they can to turn their backs on his first marriage. This is wrong. This is a man that would not even give his daughter 100 towards a security deposit for her apartment. He would not even help her get simple house-hold items to get started. She has done NOTHING to them. In fact, she has went over-board in being nice to all of them to get along. Even when she was excluded from trips to the beach each summer. If a child is college material, the parent should make an effort to help.
One more thing, this is also a man who got over 0,000 a few years back in a settlement plus he makes + a year and that does not include the income from his wife.
Yes, the government does make them adults at 18 BUT to apply for any loan, they have to start with the one from the government. It does not matter if they are even 21 years old, living on their own, working, etc. They have to include my income (if any) and my husband's income until they are 24 or married. Even though my husband is the stepfather we have to give them our income for them to use in determining any grants, etc., before they other things kick in. I think that it is awful that a man has to have a court order to do anything for his daughter. I know that is current wife is behind it and I think it is awful that he can not be man enough to stand up to her and say that she is his daughter and deserves his help the same as the stepkids. Yes, I tried to stay out of the courts because I thought this man was actually honest in what he said through the years but I was wrong. As for his stepkids, they have grown into rude adults – I should have taken him for every cent.
Sorry – forgot. Yes, I do live in the United States.
