Does it have anything to do with gasoline, a match, a male sex organ, a vice, and a dull knife?
Had someone hack the wife's Best Buy account a few years ago. They ordered a couple thousand worth of computer components to pick up in Florida I believe it was. Wish it was local, I'd be camping out waiting for them to come pick their order up.
Thanks for the offer, but it won’t be necessary. I do appreciate your kindness though.
Pedo Joe and cohorts WANT to get rid of cash and have 100% e-banking.
We keep cash in the safe and use 2 accounts. Our main account card is used locally only. The 2nd account has little to nothing on it. It is used online (very little) and out of town, travelling, vacation.

My bank text alerted me for a $500 charge against my debit card and I replied immediately that it was fraud. I was actually at the gas station pumping gas when it came through. Went straight home and called the credit union and told them to kill the card and send another. Turns out the charge had actually went through but got reversed in the few minutes it took them on the phone. I was logged into my account when I called them and had 6 pending charges. Those were already zeroed out.
Three days later my ex heard about it and called to asked if the money was going to Cashapp. I told her yes and also told her who it was that did it, though I can't prove it. She still doesn't want to believe that a family member that's done this very exact thing at least 5 times (that we know of) would do it. They dinged her for $4k and she still won't accept it. Yea, there's a legit reason she's my EX...
I only wish I could get some charges filed. I've tried several times and heard nothing but crickets from the authorities, the bank and Visa. It's maddening that it's just thought of as normal these days.

Exactly. Our CC has been compromised several times with the perps ordering from Amazon or Walmart. They don't have the three numbers on the back so the order is refused but the delivery address is still there in the original order.
Had one hack going to Portland Or from Walmart. I called their LEO fraud division to see if they wanted to catch someone. The Detective laughed and told me they didn't have enough people to do anything about it even though I sent pics of the address and the location on google earth. Evidently it's so rampant nobody cares.
The Canadian government froze the accounts of the protesting truck driver's during their protest. Evidently, it's extremely easy for governments to take your money even if it's bitcoin.
If your retirement is in any sort of public banking or digital form, the government can take it. It's been discussed in congress.
So sad. I had someone get my data 6 or 7 years ago. The only thing they bought was an X-Box online card, which I assume is something that lets you play video games online. I figured it had to be a kid/teenager. Luckily, with the data that was provided in the banking record, I was able to research the transaction, and found the shipping address and name that they sent the card to. Through the county accessors office, I was able to find the property owners name (which shared the same last name), which then was enough to find their phone number. I called them at about 8AM (because I had been up all night researching it). I called the house (in Ohio), and had about a 20 minute conversation with the father. I doubt that kid stole anything after that, and I got a check in the mail about a week later for $50 to pay me back for the X-Box card.
This kind of $het makes me want to go full-on Jack Reacher on these perps!
