I just want to give you all a heads up!
My debit card information was stolen. They started to use my card
yesterday. They only got two charges through and it threw up a red flag
and the fraud division of my bank put a hold on my card! The stores that
the thieves shopped at and were successful were web hosting and Dr.
Jays. When they purchased at Dr. Jays, the transaction was from New York
and that threw the red flag. They tried to charge $1019 at Best Buy,
another $300 something at Best Buy, another $300 something at NBA.com,
another $300 something at Dr. Jays, and several other small ones that I
can’t remember.
My bank will pay me back for the $75 and $90 that went through, but
it will take months, so I am very pissed off!!! I thank God that my bank
has a fraud department and that they caught this before they totally
wiped me out. Anyway I will never use a debit card again, this is the
second time this has happened to me. No more online shopping and cash
and check only.
When I went to the bank this morning the teller had a stack of fraud
claims on her desk. I asked her if they get a lot. That folder was just
yesterday, they have recently been getting 100′s a week, and she said
mine wasn’t bad, some are in the thousands. She said she has never seen
it this bad, she said the criminals are getting better. You don’t even
have to use it online, they can get it from keystrokes on your keyboard.
