I don't think it was another Marine, it was one of the Marine's friends that was back home.

Thankfully, my sons CO became aware of this, I'm not sure how, and it is being taken care of by the Marine Corps and the Navy Relief Society. I was worried that my son may suffer reprecussions later in life, but he didn't want to get his "friend" in trouble. Since then, my son has received several credit rejection letters, so I guess his "friend" figured it was so easy to be him, he might try it again. Thank goodness my son has no credit history and didn't qualify for a line of credit.

Needless to say, I'm relieved that his chain of command became involved. And I don't have to worry about my son being upset with me!

Again, thank you all for the great advice. This place is a gold mine!

No it wasn't another Marine, it was a friend from back home.

Thanks for updating us on this. Appreciate it. Marines take care of their own, so take some comfort in that.

But what you shared about receiving credit rejection letters steps this up a notch, ma'am.

This is no longer a punk kid who impersonated your son and caused your son to be issued a ticket, but this is not about identity theft, plain and simple, and that escalates this situation.

If he has stolen your son's identity, or at least attempted to, is applying for credit cards or other forms of credit in your son's name, and your son is being turned down, those credit rejections can work against your son. But worse, if the punk kid doing this actually got a credit card issued...then you better believe he is out there using it, running up debt in your son's name.

At this point, I would either call law enforcement and discuss the situation or go to the district attorney's office. Forget about not wanting to get the kid in trouble, he's already done that, and it is he who has gotten himself in trouble.

[Marinemom32]

Wow with friends like that who needs enemies! I agree with what MOS says...who knows who or what else he has lied to about his identity, acting like your son. And I really glad that his command got involved. I know it is probabaly hard on your son to realize that one of his friends could do this to him. I had something similiar with one of my friends sons, but nothing to this extent. They have been friends since 3rd grade, and I looked at him as my second son, he was having trouble at home, stayed with me for few weeks, ( this is while he was a boot camp) and I discovered, that he pawned his x-box, and took alll his graduation money. My son the forgiving sole that he is forgave him of course, me on the other hand not so much. He did a few other things as well, but won't go into it. I just hope everything gets resolved for your son. I wonder how his command found out?

[Phantom Blooper]

Probally missed court date?????

Sounds like the Marine needs to go home on leave and lay some of that new combat kung fu on this young "friends" azz.

Friends like that one does not need......

May consider civil suit...teach the " friend" a lesson.

My opine.

Thank you MOS -- You're absolutely right about the credit issue. Thankfully, his command automatically referred him to the Navy Releif Society "just in case" the person tried to use his credit also. They were already investigating the credit fraud before the first rejection letter came in the mail. Seems they may have some experience with this kind of thing!

MarineMom, my son has a extremely kind, giving, and forgiving heart. I'm more like you, I want to wring the kids neck! If I ever see him again, it will be too soon.

Thanks again to all of you, everyone here is just awesome!

p.s. I get to see my Marine next month, I'm going to 29 Palms! So excited!

[tommielynn]

I like that idea Phantom. I'd buy a ticket to watch!

So excited for you that you get to visist your son!! And I am not one to hold a grudge, and my son doesn't understand why it bothers me so much when it was his stuff, that he took. But I look at as he took these things out of my house, I just feel like his stealing. But in his mind, he a reason for doing it. If would have came to me and asked me for money, I would have probably given it to him....Oh well. I am trying to forgive him, just take time. Have a great vist!!

[tommielynn]

Got to thinkin just maybe this guy has something to hide, like he is wanted for something else or has NO DL of his own. It may be suspened and he used your sons name becuase of that. Just thinkin?

Yes, that's exactly why he did it.

Looks like I spoke a little too soon when I said I was off the hook on this one -- my son called me yesterday and said he was gonna have to commission some leave to attend the hearing this Thursday. What?!! "I can't have a warrant out for my arrest Mom!!". To which I said "I thought your command was taking care of this!?!" Seems the paperwork hasn't made it through the Chain of Command and back to the Court in Houston (half or more of Unit is at MWTC Bridgeport, not sure if thats why or if its just a slow process). He tried explaining to his dumb civilian momma that the Corps don't care about this excuse and that excuse, if a warrant is issued, they'll take him to the Brig and sort it out later. LOL. Lordy lordy that was a stressful conversation.

So I contacted the court, and they gave me a packet of paperwork for him to complete. He's gotta get it notarized and return it with signature samples. I suppose I'm going to take all his paperwork and my POA to the courthouse on Thursday night. Or maybe before then as the notice says "on or before 4/12 at 9pm", seems to say you can go before the actual court date.

Will keep you posted.

[Marinemom32]

Wow!! I am so sorry. While he is home make sure he beats the holy sh** out of this "friend" that did this to him.

I'm hoping he doesn't have to come home! That's why I'm gonna take all his stuff to the court with my POA, not sure if that will work, but I'm gonna try.

My son doesn't have extra money to spend coming home to take care of some BS that he had nothing to do with. So if he ends up having for come home, that kid might find out what happens when you #*&% with a Marine!
