Karlstraße Scholz has always been a trusting person, sometimes verging on naïve. While it typically bodes well for him there have been times that people have taken advantage of that and used it to their gain. One time in particular, back in his rookie season on the Blizzard, a few of the fellas asked Karl if they could borrow his credit card to pay for a quick bite to eat after practice. Not only did they buy some grub, but they went on a bit of a spending spree at the nearby mall. And not just any mall, the West Edmonton Mall. Lots of opportunities to rack up some serious damage there. They let it simmer for a bit until Karl would eventually notice and they'd pay him back for all the goodies, but for a couple days there Karl was really stressing out on what to do. Silver lining, he collected a ton of aeroplan points that day.
Aron Hernadivic, of the Simulation Hockey League's Buffalo Stampede, travelled to Rio de Janeiro in Brazil for the 2016 Summer Olympics. Hernadivic travelled here for the festivities, taking in part the various sports and activities, specifically beach volleyball, soccer, and more. Hernadivic is also great friends with Ryan Lochte, and was with Lochte and his friends when they were held at gunpoint and arrested at a Brazilian gas station as the Olympics were coming to a closure.
It was here where Aron Hernadivic got his identity stolen, having purchased a tank of gas, a pack of smokes, and a scratch off lottery ticket from the lady at the host with his credit card. The lady went off and spent a decent chunk of his money, thankfully, he had a fairly low limit and so not much was spent. Tough day for Aron tho, ending up in jail and with his credit card information stolen. Maybe next time he won't buy a pack of smokes from a rural gas station.
Thanks to everybody for the sigs :peepoheart:

Someone pretended to be me and went into a Florida Walmart to purchase three thousand dollars worth of various gift cards. They got them in ten dollar increments and purchased 300 of them for all different kinds of various establishments. They bought cards for Burger King, Red Robin, eBay, and pretty much any store or restaurant you could think. Interestingly, they did a completely different transaction for each one. They did this over the course three hundred days, buying just one single ten dollar gift card every single day. I was dismayed when I was first alerted of the identity theft, but my management quickly fixed the situation. After a complete investigation, it was determined that the culprit was my estranged brother, Layne Gretzky. He has been out of my life for over a decade now, and this is a prime example of why we no longer speak. He was always a bad seed, and he has done nothing with his life except ruin it. And everyone else's.

My identity was a hard one to steal but also an easy one to run with once stolen because of how much I have done in my life. From being a professional wrestler as well as a professional hockey player I have a lot of avenues to ruin my life, however, whomever stole my identity was pretty mild with it and I'm very thankful for that. All they really did was post some bs rumors about me in my hockey and wrestling lives like saying I was afraid of that spineless coward Doom over in Rink of Honor. Or that I never showed up in big games against opponents in the playoffs in SHL. Like I would ever be afraid of that little twig of a human Doom. And I only show up on the biggest stages. Luckily I only dabble in cash and stocks like a real millionaire so they couldn't get a hold of any of my money.
Karl was very worried when he realized his identity had been stolen. His mind went to a lot of bad things that could happen, and he was scared to look into the news or social media to see what happened. "Krashwagen Donates $1M to local Baltimore Hospital" - What the hell? I didn't do this? But dammit, i can't take this back else I look like the bad guy now.
"Platoon forward giving back to the community by creating a duck feeding pond" - I hate feeding ducks, their toothless beaks are scary and this probably attracts children who are loud and sticky
"Good guy Karl Krashwagen agrees to spend offseason with a youth trip to India" - Ok what the hell is happening? I now have to lose my offseason AND spend it with children? This is the worst because I can't even rescind these promises otherwise I'm going to look evil as heck. I suspect Nathan Thomas is behind this, he knows what would get to me.
Delver Fudgeson found himself chained up in a dark, echoing room. He could feel the fact that his wallet was missing. He knew he didn't have enough cash on him to make this kidnapping worth it, so he tried to figure out what he did have on him. His team ID. For the first two months of the season, the man wearing the Fudgeson jersey for the Toronto North Stars wasn't the same person that's worn the jersey for the last ten+ seasons. Delver treats hockey like a punch in-punch out job. Sometimes his teammates don't know he's there when it actually is him. Delver was ready to accept defeat, but one day, the food slid under the door to him was presented on top of a recent newspaper in lieu of a plate. Delver saw an article on his Toronto team that referenced a clutch blocked shot made by "Delver Fudgeson". He knew this wasn't him. So he used all of his training to slip out of his chains, and fight his way out of this underground facility. A month of tainted stats on Delver's career. The worst punishment of all. His points per game took a hit and his blocked shots skyrocketed. Disgraceful. Delver has been unable to convince anyone of this, as his teammates hadn't noticed that it was a different person in his place. The imposter got away, for now. Took a joyride on a pro hockey player's life. Fortunately, he did pay Delver's rent while living in his apartment. Ready to put this whole incident behind him, Delver is reluctant to answer questions about his "rough stretch" of the season. When asked about his return, goaltender Harry Carpet was quoted as saying "I wish Delver would start blocking shots again. That was a good stretch."
Public transit can be dangerous. Not physically dangerous, mind you, but sometimes you can forget or lose important things while trying to get from point A to point B. On one occasion, while heading to the practice facility, Jon St. Ark was distracted by a group of fans and left his bag on the bus, complete with all his gear. When he realized his mistake, he chased after the bus but it had taken off. A bystander on the bus, Jeff, saw the bag and picked it up, carrying it with him off at the next step before Jon could catch up. Jeff, being a New Orleans Specters superfan, knew where the practice facility was and so made his way over the few blocks to the arena. Before he could say anything to the security guard, the guard spotted the ID tag on the bag and waved him through. Jeff shrugged and continued to make his way into the facility, finding the locker room. The team was already on the ice, and the few people who were around didn't pay him any real attention. Looking at the bag, Jeff had an idea. He put the goalie gear on and made his way out onto the ice. With the mask, no one could immediately tell it wasn't St. Ark. Jeff made his way to the goal, and took a few shots from Hutton and Odelein before an out-of-breath Jon St. Ark burst into the facility, pointing at Jeff. To be honest, Jeff is negotiating a contract with a minor league team now as a potential goalie.
Williams had some free time and travelled back home to England to watch the Euro finals. He scored some great seats right next to David Beckham but was ultimately distraught at the end of the match. Instead of calling the players racial slurs (classy), he went back to his hotel room. It was there where he realized he must have left his wallet back in the stadium. Edward was almost as distraught as he was when Saka missed his penalty. He tried calling his bank but was put on hold for 3 straight hours. Giving up, Williams deciding he would figure it out the next morning. Well, he wakes up to see that his bank account is almost completely empty. It seems as though someone bought tens of thousands of dollars worth of hairspray and some elegant watches. He knows who to call. Williams calls up David Beckham, who answers, "Alright mate?" Williams really let him have it, telling him off for "buying that hair shit." Beckham comes clean and said he needed to get some emergency hair product for an important meeting but it wouldn't happen again. Edward hangs up and blocks his number.
So many sex toys. Just so, so many.
I am pretty sure they got my credit card from the place where I bought Mason jars for the preserves my mom likes to make. They swapped them without me realizing it. I probably should've guessed that a street corner cart called "Bruno Jars" wasn't the best place to give my credit card, but lesson learned.
The next day I got a call from my credit card asking if I was using my card at Skippy Lube's. I was confused because I don't actually own a car currently but after a brief conversation I realized I had my peanut butters mixed up and the business she was talking about does service exhaust systems, just not on an automobile.
After confirming that I did not purchase $4761 of various toys (I am not sure she was completely convinced), I called the local police to report the incident.
It turns out they had arrested the perpetrator already and he tried giving my name, but one of the cops was a Platoon fan and knew that I am not a sixty-three year old man with a southern accent.
However somebody called the press and it lit up Twitter like fireworks on the 4th of July, with way too much conjecture about me giving the man my credit card. Seriously, if I am going to buy toys I don't need somebody else to do it.

Whoever stole Gudmundur Kristjansson’s identity managed to actually improve his life substantially which was a surprise to the player. First off, Kritstjansson ended up with a lifetime supply of chips shipped directly to his house, free of charge might I add, a lifetime membership to his favourite ice cream parlour, yes they have memberships, and somehow his bank accounts were managed way better than he could have done so himself. His savings were invested in different stocks , as well as in cryptocurrency and he managed to actually make money off of the identity theft. Hell even Kristjanssons credit cards were fully paid off by the mystery thief that Krisjtansson started to call his guardian angel, and finally? Kristjansson found a note telling him to pay it forward whatever that meant, and we are currently unsure whether he will go and steal someones identity to improve their life or if he will just take a more ethical approach in helping out someone around him.
I'm gonna be the 800th person to say this but.... IDENTITY THEFT IS NOT A JOKE JIM. Ok so now the actual task, not counting this for my word count I promise.
Someone got their hands on Teddy Murphy's credit card information and they were able to live it up for a full 2 weeks before any odd behavior was noticed. This was because of Teddy's unique version of financial illiteracy and the absurdity that is his purchase history. The bank just had no idea the charges were out of the norm for Murphy. But once the issue was properly realized and Murphy began to pick up the pieces he was absolutely incensed at some of the stuff the culprits had purchased and also himself for not realizing you can 100% buy a statue of oneself riding a tiger and looking like Zeus then get it gold plated. The idea had never really crossed his mind. In fact, after changing his banking information and getting issued new cards I got a call from Teddy informing me that he would need someone to be at his house on the 31st to accept a "Very large and awesome delivery. Trust me you won't see it coming and you'll love it."
Well, Ronlain is usually one to be pretty careful with his information. He does all the standard stuff to attempt to keep himself safe from most internet threats that would want to steal his identitiy. No clicking links in emails, not reusing the same passwords, changing them often, etc. He's honestly a model for the security of one's personal information. However, one fateful day he was quite exhausted after practice and laid down on the couch back home to rest. In a daze he saw a text from his teammate, Michael Fitted. It said something about someone posting an embarrassing photo of him on Twitter and it had a link, and when he followed it he was suspiciously prompted to log in, odd considering he was always logged into Twitter on his phone. In his daze he thought nothing of it and logged in, unaware that it was a phishing link and his Twitter credentials now belonged to whoever hacked Fitted's phone and send him the link. Within minutes, there were dozens of Tweets and retweets on his account about various things such as cryptocurrency, various products, and venmo cash scams. Unfortunately for Ronlain, he fell back asleep after inputting the credentials and did not wake up for another hour, plenty of time for the malicious individuals to send out many tweets and also DMs to other players who may also fall for it. He still gets chirped for it on the ice.
