Mother fucker (Rant Journal)
7 years ago
So, my weekend kinda went to hell on me Sunday morning. I found out some jackass stole my debit card information. Said jackass turned around and bought a mattress, in Massachusetts. I've never been to Massachusetts in my life, and I certainly didn't buy a mattress recently. So now in the red at $-800. I've contacted my bank and gotten my debit card cancelled and a new one is on it's way. Still, that doesn't do me a lot of good when I have bills coming up, and even though I get paid Friday, I'll still be close to $300 overdrawn, and that's provided I'm not hit with overdraft fees. My bank said they're looking into it, and that it could take up to five days to get reversed, and worst case scenario up to 90 days to get credited back to my account. I'm pissed off, and feeling rather helpless over this. I have money in my other bank, so I can cover my bills, but still, I hate this.

I got my info stolen back on ebay a good 2-3 years ago. Quickly cancelled and called my bank, telling them those fees were NOT made by me...still got a $100 itunes gift card code because the fucker using my ebay account tried to get the code from the guy =p

ouch that sucks. i suggest getting one of those IR blocking wallets for like 20 bucks i have one and they block card scanners that thieves use to steal info from the card itself, Also i suggest being more careful where you shop online and maybe use a better antivirus to help protect your info mate. I know these suggestions don't get yoru money back now but they could help you in future *hugs from a friendly tiger*

Personally, I keep only a set, small amount of money in my debit account, and have overdraft protection turned off. If someone steals my card, they can only get what's in the account. Any attempt to spend more just fails, flat off, and the rest of the money in my savings account is untouched.
