re: #370 Tigger2

I am so pissed right now someone got a hold of my debit card number and has been using it. They got me for about $80 in the last 6 days.

I’ll tell you a horror story. One of my Chinese students is studying in NYC now. Her wallet was stolen, and the thieves used her BoA debit card to clean out her account — $30K in all. She’s talked to the police and the bank, so i’m sure it will all be sorted out soon enough, but you can imagine how the poor kid felt after her bank account got cleaned out (many of those charges were flagged “pending,” so the BoA fraud detector algorithm must have slowed things down.)

While I was in Malaysia last winter, someone hijacked my PayPal debit card account. But I had less than $100 in it, and years ago turned off the automatic bank withdrawal option after a similar incident, so the damage was minimal. Still pissed me off, though.

Hope your sitch gets sorted out quickly.
