So angry right now!

I just got an alert in my email and by text that some idiot that’s nicely put had used my debit card somehow to make a purchase online at 5:54pm I didn’t do it I was eating dinner at the time and wasn’t online that’s what I get for making so many past purchases online where I have my information saved on there I immediately took my card off of the site I don’t think that will help and it’s over the weekend I can’t call till Monday to report fraudulent activity and have my card blocked and get a new card once again mind you this is the fourth time I had to get a new debit card! I can’t even imagine stealing from someone by using their information or card number etc… to get money to buy things unbelievable the nerve of some people! And in the end, it hurts me not them, so I now have to go to my gym and give them the new card number when I get it in the mail and cricket my phone company such a pain in the butt just venting rant over with for now

Always use credit, you won’t get money back from debit.

I’ve had that happen once. The FDIC in the US covers your loss if it’s taken from your bank through your debit card. I got all my money back. It was almost $400. Yeah I had to get online and give my new card information to my services.

Are you sure there’s not some 24 hour customer service fraudulent department you can call?

I sent a message to the online Store in which my card was used by someone else and their going to refund my money back to my card and cancel the subscription someone else signed me up for so I think the problem could be solved now Im going to watch my bank account and watch for anymore suspicous transactions if I dont get anymore fraudulent activity on my account or card I wont get a new card and block this one and have to notify the gym or cricket well see fingers crossed if it happens again I will call the fraud department to have a new card sent out

Yeah I got home from a trip to New Mexico and looked at my bank statement to see the money was gone. It’s the only time it has ever happened. I got online and blocked my card then called the bank once they opened.
