Cyber-crime has struck me and I am pissed.
I got online this morning after a premonition and a conversation. I looked at my balance and said WTF happened to my money! I opened my account tab on the website and apparently I paid 820.00 to some company on the east coast for some web seminar. I hit the ATM this morning insearch of $20.00. I opted not to get a receipt, I usually do. As I drove away, I thought, what if my account had some fraudulent action on it like in 2006? I got online at work and found the little issue and just thank my lucky stars I was vigilant enough to catch such an issue.
After a few minutes testing the maze that is telephone customer service, I finally reached someone who could help me. I also called the merchant regarding the issue and after some questions they confirmed that the transaction was initiated from Ghana (in Africa) for those unworldly travelers, and that they would credit my account but it may take days.
Anyhow, I found the banks to not be open after 4:00 unless it;s Friday. That bites, I now have to take off early in order to get a new debit card. No ATM card at the moment and I feel DIRTY!!!!!!!!
