'Tis the season.....for thieven'

[Catt57]

Stopped by the ATM this morning to get a little cash out and got rejected for "insufficient funds".

Got online and took a look at my account history and found a string of charges that I didn't make. Now i get to deal with the whole process of reporting it and hoping the bank makes good on their fraudulent changes protection and all that jazz.

Keep a close eye on those debit and credit cards folks. I'll be checking mine a lot more often from now on.

Crap, that sucks

Had my card numbers snatched every year for the past few years so now I only use the debit card for pay at the pump purchases. Sure enough, that's where it was snatched from. Somebody had installed one of those card reader things to capture the information. My bank (Tinker Credit Union) has been excellent at catching the fraud and making good on it. They even contacted me about the last one before I knew about it.

It appears that I caught it soon enough that most if not all of it should get refunded. Of course, that can take several days or more while the bank investigates. At least they have set it so that my next direct deposit will not be dinged for the overdrafts. And I'll be getting new cards as well. The worst part is this leaves me with only the $18 cash I already had in my pocket to get thru to my next payday.....

There's a lesson in that.

There's a lesson in that.

Yeah, I normally have more than that on hand but had used it the day or so before. Hence one of the reasons for stopping at the ATM this morning.

I’m sure it has nothing to do with being an OSA supporter.

You could have had $33 in your pocket. Sucker.
