I'VE BEEN MUGGED!!!!!

OK.. not physically but E-mugged!!!!!!!!!

Some A-holes got my debit card # and SS #

Of course it had to happen THIS weekend! Our 50% is due to the RH this week so I took a lot of money out of the wedding account and put it into my checking account to give to the RH.

I literally have ZERO in my bank account right now. And whats funny is that I got an email from Target saying that someone opened an account in my name with my debit card (they gave the last 4 numbers). I don't have a target card and I've never ordered anything from Target so I kind of thought this was just a spam email..... but I figured I would just double check with the bank. So when I called the girl was like did you make a purchase at Sears for $1,000? I was like UH NOOOOOO!!!!!!!! She then tells me that there are 35 large charges pending. So after hearing all that I ask her how much money is left in the account.... she says zero. So I go in person to my branch and thank God for their awesome customer service. I went in a mess! I was like OMG I have no money and I'm getting married in 6 months.... I almost fainted while there...but they were sooo nice! She went through all the charges with me(they started Friday!) and said that I will get the money back in 2 weeks. They are going to investigate the case....and let me know where it goes. I have to go back in tomorrow to fill out all the paperwork.


Ughhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! Why???????????????


In closing..... be careful with your information girls!

Re: I'VE BEEN MUGGED!!!!!

wow! so sorry to hear that! I always worry about my debit card. I think the best bet is to keep your money in savings, and try to pay large amounts using cashiers check. I really hope all works out, and I hope they get those low lives!!

Go here and fill out an alert

Everyone can do it (it's free) and it makes it hard to open accounts in someone else's name. If they get your existing account numbers, this won't help but at least they can't open new cards with your information.
