Well, here's something I never really thought would happen to me. Which was a bit naive, I admit. Someone somehow got a hold of the details of one of my credit cards. I didn't really notice it at first. But after looking closer at my card statement they made a small purchase at Starbucks about two weeks ago. I've heard they do that to verify that the card actually works. I never go to Starbucks so I should've known something was off if only I was actually monitoring my spending.
Now, a $12 purchase for a fancy coffee isn't the end of the world for me. However, what they did yesterday is gonna take quite a while to clean up. My bank called me about a handful of suspicious purchases that had occurred quickly one after the other. They had racked up $18,000 worth of bath bombs before the bank put a hold on my card. Seriously, bath bombs! Apparently the bank 's fraud algorithm let it through because it thought I was buying them for charity or something. They still haven't figured out who got a hold of my card. But I got a new one now, and the bank has agreed to pay me back. But of course there's a lot of paperwork left to do... Past Players |
