I thought you’d be interested in a follow-up on the info about Sprint and an endless spasm of fraud which I posted yesterday.

In The Editor’s attempt to correct the problem she encountered another glaring lack - the Knox PD failed to verify her identity, which made the LAPD balk instead of taking action:

What the KPD doesn’t seem to get is that LAPD wants the K-town police to verify that I am who I say I am. And when Sgt. MC waved the police report in front of me saying, “You have this!” she failed to reason that NO ONE EVER VERIFIED MY IDENTITY WHEN THEY TOOK THAT REPORT! If someone knew my name and a phone number, they could have made that report.

LAPD wants KPD to verify who I am. And I don’t see what’s wrong with that, given that the reason I’m in this situation in the first place is because Sprint didn’t do much to verify someone’s identity who claimed to be me.

I just kept waiting for and hoping that one of the departments would suck it up, act like a grown up, and take the high road. Instead, I felt like I was in this fight between two spoiled children trying to get out doing chores. I mean, honestly! There I was, standing in the police station with all my ID and information, and all they needed to do was FAX the LAPD’s Financial Fraud Department. But, “That’s a long distance call!”
