[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have an atypical idea.

Figure out who has your old phone number and if they are normal/trustworthy.

Ask them for help in a way that shows your credibility.  Ask for suggestions here if you need help.  Perhaps compensate that person.

Before you reach out, you really should migrate to a new service.

Also read instructions on how to change your default phone number, etc.

Not everyone is a crook.  A stranger might help you.

I have an elderly lady with my same name who has signed up twice for Walmart accounts using my e-mail and her phone.

Because she put my e-mail on, I have privileges to reset the online password.  When I do that, it texts her but I have full access to the account.  She doesn't know who I am.

The first time, I thought it was the beginning of a scam.  So I closed the account.

Six weeks later, she opened a new account.

I got in again and was very freaked out because her credit card was registered to it.  I couldn't see the numbers but it was active. So I could have sent myself stuff from Walmart at her expense.  I immediately deleted the credit card out of the account.

Then I thought through how to get her attention.  She had a saved or favorite item in a list area.  So I made a whole bunch of lists and titled them things like "Wrong E-Mail on Account" and "Correct Your E-mail".  Enough so anyone looking in that area would see them.  Then I did about 10 password resets in a row so she'd get lots of text messages.  Then I just signed out and didn't go back

I hope she figured it out.  I know who she is because of our same name and store location.  She probably doesn't know who I am.  And where I am.

I mention all this because I want OP to understand that whoever has her phone number might do her a kindness.  And there are ways to research whoever has it to see if they are a safer or less safe person to contact.[/quote]

You never considered just calling Walmart and asking them to contact her?[/quote]
