I'VE BEEN MUGGED!!!!!

Original post by BarbieGrl10

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!

Eeekkk!
This sort of thing happens all the time!

My coworker ordered those hangers (the ones from the infromercial) and she gave her info to them for the order. Well.... like a day later there were some fraudelant charges.

I'm sorry this happened Barbiegirl. It's awesome that you're getting the money back!

It's supposed to go up even more with this economy getting worse and worse.

OMG! Im so sorry to hear this!!
A few years ago I was a victim of credit fraud-its def a pain to deal with. Like someone said before call all 3 credit breaus (experian, transunion, equifax) and tell them to put a fruad alert on your accounts. I hope everything works out!
FM me if you need anything!!
