Huntington Bank and Upgrade

Received emails thanking me for opening new account but I never opened one! Tried calling the number but it asked me to enter my account or social security number to continue.

Received another email with disclosure agreements PDF’s.

Also noticed new account notices for Upgrade as well as an additional address notification.

All my credit bureau accounts are frozen and I have additional fraud attempt alerts on them and I don’t see any new accounts listed.

The emails look legit but it was sent to an email account I no longer use and check every once in a while.

Also noticed they added one letter to my first name that turned it into a feminine version of my first name.

Payroll, 401K account, Multiple online store accounts hacked, $6k+ stolen so far.

Hi,

So this started two weeks ago, I first received a message on my work email my bank direct deposit had changed on my payroll account and 401K. We use paychex flex and you login with a user name/password. Someone gained access and changed my direct deposit from my Chase to a Greendot bank account. Also using this payroll account they took out a $2k from my 401K and it was deposited to the greendot account. My payroll account has been frozen and under investigation since.

I having been using Klarna for years to help with expenses. This last Sunday, I noticed a large withdrawal from Klarna from my bank account. When I logged in Klarna to check someone had paid down in a bundle payment my account balance and made a $2,033 purchase at Stubhub for NFL tickets. They had also made multiple attempts to purchase from Ticketmaster and Target.

A few days later I discovered a laptop for $1,900 had been purchased from Best Buy marketplace. This one I was able to catch before it arrived and had it returned to the vendor by UPS. Also had another high end laptop in my Ebay cart and Target had $1k worth of RAM.

So I know for sure two of my gmails accounts were associated with all these events. When I checked the settings on gmail there was a delete order for bestbuy.com, target, ticketmaster, stubhub, ebay, paychex incoming emails. All email passwords were changed and I moved all these accounts to a new yahoo account.

Even though I had changed my Klarna email, password and PIN, yesterday they accessed it again and tried multiple purchases.

Today Klarna informed me that there investigation found the Stubhub purchase was made on a trusted device that had used Klarna before.

So at this point I am not sure how they are able to bypass the security, is it my phone that is compromised or my desktop that I leave on 24/7. All of these purchases were made early in the morning while I was asleep.

Any help is greatly appreciated, I just filed a police report.

EDIT:

Forgot to add, Stubhub gave me access back to my account. The $2K in tickets are for an NFL game this Sunday. Stubhub said the investigation will be another 3-4 days, with access I can sell the tickets but that might make me look guilty. However if Stubhub and Klarna come back with their decision next week and determine they cannot prove it was fraud I owe $2k to Klarna.
