Personal Stories: Accounts from victims of Feshop data breaches.

?‍♀️ Personal Stories: Victims of Feshop Data Breaches

? 1. Rachel – The Unauthorized Loan

Occupation: Schoolteacher
Location: Denver, CO
Impact: Identity theft, bad credit

"It started with a strange letter from a bank I’d never heard of, thanking me for opening a credit line. I thought it was a scam—until I checked my credit report and saw a $12,000 loan in my name. Weeks later, I found out my 'fullz' had been sold on Feshop. They had everything: my SSN, DOB, even old passwords. It took 9 months to clear my credit, and I still get collections calls."

How her data was used:
Her full identity was used to take out a personal loan and open new credit cards.

? 2. Marcus – The Vanishing Paycheck

Occupation: IT Help Desk Support
Location: Austin, TX
Impact: Direct deposit rerouted, card drained

"One Friday, my paycheck never showed up in my bank account. Turns out, someone had logged into my work payroll system and changed the routing info. They also bought $2,000 worth of electronics using my card. HR traced the breach back to a phishing email I clicked weeks earlier. Feshop had my bank login and full card info for sale within days."

How his data was used:
Card and account credentials were used to redirect salary and make high-ticket purchases.

??‍? 3. Priya – The Suspended Job Offer

Occupation: Recent College Grad
Location: Toronto, Canada
Impact: Lost job opportunity, reputation damage

"I was applying for jobs after graduation when one company ghosted me. I found out later during a background check that 'I' had a criminal record for financial fraud. Someone had used my identity to create fake businesses and commit carding. My real info had been leaked in a data breach and then sold on Feshop. It’s taken me a year to rebuild my record."

How her data was used:
Her identity was used in a fraudulent LLC to launder carded funds.

? 4. Alan Marie – The Mortgage Nightmare

Occupation: Married couple, both nurses
Location: Phoenix, AZ
Impact: Mortgage delayed, financial stress

"We were two weeks away from closing on our first home when the mortgage lender flagged a suspicious credit inquiry. Turns out someone had applied for three credit cards using Alan’s identity and maxed one out. The lender pulled the offer. We later traced the breach back to a skimmer at a gas station—we saw our info listed on a carding forum with a Feshop watermark."

How their data was used:
Card and ID information used for financial fraud, impacting major life decisions.

? 5. Jordan – The Social Media Phish

Occupation: Influencer content creator
Location: Los Angeles, CA
Impact: Stolen account, drained digital wallet

"Someone sent me a collab request via email. I clicked the link and logged into what looked like Instagram. That same night, my account was hacked and they posted crypto scams using my name. They also drained my connected crypto wallet. My 'access logins' and wallet seed phrase were dumped online—and sold on Feshop for less than $100."

How his data was used:
Phishing and credential theft leading to both digital and financial exploitation.
