Credit /Debit card hacked

[muthstryker]

I hate people that do this stuff, its absolutely annoying. I have been hit two times, they took my info right off of ATM machines (My credit unions ATMs). The first time they bought 700$s in stuff from Fred Meyer's and then also tried to do 700$s at Walmart. My CU actually blocked the Walmart transaction because it looks suspicious so they didn't get much. Still pissed me off because it was my wheel money! They caught the people and I had to file a police report and just a few months ago I went to court to testify against them. My CU put the money back into my account the very next day after all this had happened.

The second time they had my card info about 4 months ago, and they made a ton of small purchases in Texas. If I wouldn't have looked at my bank statement I wouldn't have even of noticed it was going on they were so small. (5-10$ purchases)



I make any and all my online purchases with paypal and I even have a debit card for my paypal account. I dont use any of my bank accounts to make purchases online, its just easier to transfer the exact amount over to paypal so I dont risk getting taken for more.

I just got a call from Discover. Yesterday someone swiped my card in ohio at target for $300 and a gas station for $50. Problem is the card is in my wallet in NJ. But they flagged it as potentail fraud and called. So kudos to them and I am on the hook for nothing.

Just a side note, you might consider trying to pass the suspect info to the Secret Service... They may have something in the pipe....
