WTF !!!

[RhodyRams]

it seems someone has gotten hold of my business debit card and racked up a nice bill at an electronics store in Ohio !!!

I was notified by my bank of suspicious activity on my card, and they put several transactions on hold, but not before who ever used it got 2800 worth of stuff. Hopefully I will be getting that money back, but not until the bank and card company launch an investigation, which could take a few weeks.


Bring on the vodka and roll a fattie.....I'm fookin ready !!!

Sorry to hear that. It's happened to me too.

Thankfully I was quickly reimbursed.

You'll get your credit pretty soon, but the card company doesn't give a flip about the funds lost. This has happened to me before and I did some investigation on my own. Some joker bought about a half-dozen computers out in Arizona on one of my cards. I found out what was ordered and when and where it was being delivered. I forwarded that info to the card company thinking they could coordinate with the local authorities and nab the crooks. But their response was the thieves usually rent an apartment somewhere for a shipping point and then abandon it after a couple of months so they rarely get caught. They just write it off and carry on. So, you are good.

Same thing happened to me last year, I believe it was in Ohio as well at an electronic store lol. Got my money back, was like $800+.

Who is your bank? Usually they can refund you the cash. I know when someone got my information when I was deployed and spent nearly 10 grand Bank of America refunded it all for me pretty easily.

This is one of the reasons why I really wish the United States would catch up with the rest of the world and move to the Chip and Pin... Much more secure. We're the only country that still primarily uses the strip, even North Korea has moved on.

Prize Electronics was the store

Not really worried about the money, I know I will be getting it back. Just the whole damn thing is aggravating!

A co-worker recently moved down from Canada. Less than 1-month after getting a US credit card they had to put a stop on it as someone had used it to buy $17K worth of pizza making equipment. Go figure.

You'll get your money back.
If they used a debit and had your pin, we'll that would be much more difficult.
