Wow - that's awful! Glad to hear you're able to get your money back.

This acutally happened to us when we were on our HONEYMOON. Someone had managed to make a copy of DH's ATM card and was using it to withdraw $500/day while we were in Hawaii. They got away with $1500 before we figured out what happened. Luckily we got the money back b/c it was obvious we were in Hawaii and not in Brooklyn where the withdrawals were being made, but it took 5 business days to get it.

His checking account was missing $$... turns out, someone charged over $500.00 on his DEBIT card (which he has in his wallet) to a Target in Georgia and almost $100 to a Blockbuster in GA! The bank says a few people have been coming into them with this problem, and they say it might be an inside job from someone who works for Target! We had just gone to the Westbury store the week before and he used his card there, so I don't know if it's an employee there or one in corporate somewhere. Yikes! Thank God the bank is putting all the $$ back within 24 hours and changing all his info. Be careful... and check your account (especially if you've been to Target lately!)

This happened to me a few months ago, there are other things that you should do to make sure that all they have is your debit card info, sorry to be so negative, but if you want all of the info, FM me I will be more than happy to help you, it will save you alot of time (and money in the long run) it is a very scary thing! Sorry that this happened to you guys
