Members hcprimerib Posted December 19, 2012 Members Share Posted December 19, 2012 My bank's fraud dept calls me at 8am saying there is all kinds of suspicious activity on my card so they cancelled it. Apparently someone has counterfeited my card and went on a shopping spree along the ohio and indiana turnpike. Now I have to go through the long and drawn out process of disputing all the charges they incurred. The best part is that it's my debit checking account card so I'm out all that money just in time for xmas. People suck. These are the kinds of people that need to get publicly shot. I'm just saying.

Members sbrett Posted December 19, 2012 Members Share Posted December 19, 2012 Had that happen to me just last week. Same thing, debit card...out almost $600. Usually I don't like my bank sticking their nose in my account, but I was pretty grateful they caught this one and gave me a call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Shodan5000 Posted December 19, 2012 Members Share Posted December 19, 2012 Same thing happened to me last week too. The {censored} face only managed to charge around $100 up before the fraud dept. cancelled it. Bleh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Hessian3 Posted December 19, 2012 Members Share Posted December 19, 2012 Same thing last year for me. Dude went and bought tons of gift cards in the Cincinnati area. Was also a debit card. The bank temporarily gave me my money back until they resolved the case. Hopefully yours will do the same for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NoRomoFan Posted December 19, 2012 Members Share Posted December 19, 2012 Don't you believe in redistribution? No. Seriously, I hope they catch the perps and they're on the same soil so they can prosecute them much faster. No one's immune from it. I've had it happen too.

Members Chrisjd Posted December 19, 2012 Members Share Posted December 19, 2012 This happens more than you would think. Card numbers get taken and somehow are used in stores at major retailers, or on dotcom. I am not sure how thieves are getting this information but it causes a LOT of headache.

Members Shart Posted December 19, 2012 Members Share Posted December 19, 2012 Happened to me last month, one day after payday. Caught it the next morning when I checked my account online. Thief had purchased a bunch of electronics and supro shoes. Luckily, the bank was able to cancel all but one of the transactions since they hadn't been fully processed and shipped by the companies.

Members slimp Posted December 19, 2012 Members Share Posted December 19, 2012 this has happened to me twice in the past week. 2 different cards. One of the cards I never even use, I just carry the balance and try to pay it down. It also happened 3 months ago to my bank card. {censored} is getting crazy. They need to require photo id for any purchase over 50$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RSBro Posted December 19, 2012 Members Share Posted December 19, 2012 that's lame man honestly that's why i use my CC for pretty much everything except drive-thru meals nowadays, so if there is fraudulent activity my CC company will take care of it and i'm not out any actual cash.

Members metalguy Posted December 19, 2012 Members Share Posted December 19, 2012 Sorry to hear. Really couldn't have come at a worse time. I'm lucky enough to not have this happen to me except when it's me who does the charges. Kinda like my bank in that aspect. They are the perfect level of cautious. Hope it gets resolved soon for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members flump Posted December 19, 2012 Members Share Posted December 19, 2012 This happened to me last year right around thanksgiving, and then this year right after thanksgiving. Luckily Chase was all over it. Also, mine were/are credit cards so the bank is willing to fight really hard because it's their money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Viesczy Posted December 19, 2012 Members Share Posted December 19, 2012 That sux! Happened to me on my debit card 2 years ago, got me for like $3k! I got paid on Friday, check my balance on Monday & was in the hole $500! I just had to scoot to my local branch and do the fraud affidavit to get my $ back, took like 3 days. My AT&T universal card got hit for a few grand too. Had to do the same thing, but via mail and notary as there aren't any AT&T universal card places to go to. Sucks man, right at the holiday too!Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
