Title: Rich Fields, Come on Down...
Post by: chad1m on September 24, 2008, 04:11:26 PM
According to TMZ (http://\"http://www.tmz.com/2008/09/24/the-price-is-right-for-the-wrong-rich-fields/\"), Rich Fields has been a victim of identity theft. Apparently, in addition to having over $70,000 of his own cash taken, his bank accounts have been frozen and he hasn't gotten paid in a while because his direct deposits are disabled.

Whether you like his announcing or not, if it is true, it definitely sucks for him.

I thought an identity thief had to have some sort of intelligence.

Whoa…that’s a little uncalled for, don’t you think?  If that’s how you really feel, though, you’re certainly speaking volumes to your level of intelligence.

Hmm, maybe.  But I also haven't been a regular in nearly 2 years and I definitely haven't been drowning myself in the Kool-Aid.

Perhaps I meant wisdom instead of intelligence.

Speaking (or typing) as someone who suffered through it two years ago, it definitely sucks. He will have to waste hours of his time trying to clear his name and credit. No one deserves this.
