They just blocked you without sending a fraud alert asking you to confirm the purchase? Dang.
contact your bank and they will have you file a police report - nothing will be done but pretty sure they will refund your money to your acct
Working on it now.
Sent one after
I'm sorry and you're not the only one this has happened to. Mine was a debit card/bank card but not delivered to the incorrect address but was cloned at a resturant and the next was my home server was compromised (the company had poor security). I learned that day to not put and save your billing information on any site or on your computer or take a picture of your card front and back with your phone and maybe save it to your computer. Your bank it a POS for delaying return of your funds for their mistake. I think I would charge them a 20% charge for the delay and their inept actions or 3% daily charge. Much like they do to their customers.
I'd also include the article you are going to send to the local paper for what happened to you and the 10 day delay for the presdent of the bank and the board of directors.
And you couldn't confirm it so you could proceed with the purchase? I've gotten a few fraud alerts if the card reader won't read right or something. They'll usually unlock my card if I confirm the purchase.
It was about 10 minutes after so I had already gone home to get the other card.
There are thieves everywhere, nothing is safe anymore. I've had cc information stolen, as well as Netflix, Amazon, and a few other passwords. I can't stand the scum.
Your deal and a lot like it are why we never use debit cars.
Discover calls me when the even suspect a fraudulent charge.
they did call me once and ask about a charge I was positive I didn’t make. I told them it wasn’t mi e, my wife was in 5 Below using the card when they cancelled it. She hurt my feelings afterwards. But it was still funny.
I use my debit card ONLY if it’s in my hand. If I have to hand a card to someone like a clerk/cashier it will be a credit card. The credit cards protect you very nicely with regards to fraud. As a backup ALL credit cards are set up to text me anytime there is a charge over $5. I’ve caught 2 or 3 fraudulent charges thru the years this way.
Also I pay all my recurring bills on my Basspro or Cabelas card. I have purchased several firearms thru the years using the ‘rewards dollars’. My cards are also set up to pay the statement in full automatically every month.
