I got a call today from my bank about "unusual activity" on my debit card. Apparently someone counterfeited the card and bought about $1000 worth of stuff today from a department store in a mall a couple hundred miles from here. It showed up in my list of charges on my online account page. I had my bank cancel the card. Tomorrow I'll go up to the bank and try to get the transactions removed from my account and get a new card.

I contacted the store where it happened and they have video and computer records of the transaction. Tomorrow I'll call the financial crime division of the police department there and hopefully they'll catch the prick who did it. If not -- oh well. I guess credit cards are a real godsend for the more cowardly type of thieves. It's probably best both for me and the person who did this that I don't know who they are.

but did you get stabbed in the ass while getting robbed?



srsly though that really sucks. My dad just found out that he had 100$ withdrawn from an account that had no money and which was never used before. Hopefully they can catch the fucktards that did this

You have no idea how hard I laughed at that, cause it reminded me of this thread: http://www.tranceaddict.com/forums/...threadid=438974

Shit man, that's terrible. At least you were able to resolve it quickly. If anything maybe the guy still has that all stuff he bought and you can just take it

Forgive my ignorance, but how do you counterfeit a debit card?

That's scary. There's also a way people were doing it about a month ago with gas stations. They basically put a phony plate over the real one and grabbed your card information, pin number and all.

Ah ok, thanks. I vaguely remember reading about that somewhere, where thieves attach the device to an ATM or something.

Unlucky mate, hope you can get it cleared up without too much hassle.

good luck with that, i hear the whole fraud thing can be quite a pain to get everything sorted out entirely. is your bank going to take off the charges? most banks have that zero fraud liability claim, and i am curious as to how true to that they are?
