First, the merchants are not repsonsible at all. Secod, good luck finding the crook. This is the hardest crime to identiify. Third, someone must have your social if they were able to do this. You might want to consider getting somesort of monitoring/restoration service. Email me, and I can send you some info! I have a couple of things. First, the merchants are not repsonsible at all.

First, the merchant will rarely be found liable for issuing a card to someone with the proper identification and information. That they offer an invalid phone number is unavailing--heck, I give a fake phone number everytime I get one of these cards as I don't want the calls. Secondly, from the facts that you proffer, you didn't suffer any harm. You say that you actually received the cards leading me to believe they weren't used (correct me if I'm wrong). Furthermore, if it's found that identity theft did occur, then the charges, if any were made, would be written off, so you still wouldn't be damaged. So I'm a little fuzzy on what you want to "go after them" for. Really I get the sense that you're angry (justifiably so) and just want to take it out on someone. It can't work like that, though. Find the person that stole your identity. Bring charges against them. Ride the prosecutor to prosecute it. Sue them in a civil suit to recover any damages you have actually suffered (costs of rehabbing your credit, perhaps?). Well, two things.
