“Bowers and Turner allegedly obtained stolen credit and debit card information from hotels in Overland Park and the Atlanta, Ga., metro area where the identity theft victims had stayed as guests.”

About 3 years ago someone took my AMEX # while I was staying at a hotel on the Plaza. Found out about it after my account was charged with 3 new computers and 2 new cameras. But I did cancel all my cards after that.
