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!

Were you able to trace the source of the ID theft? That's really, really scary. I'm so glad that the bank worked with you--did you call the RH yet and explain the situation????
Not yet... I have to go in tomorrow to fill out all the paperwork so I'll ask how long it usually takes to trace the source. I didnt call my RH yet. The bank is writing a letter to the RH to let them know that all our money was stolen and that they should have a payment in 2 weeks or so... and I'll follow up with a call.

So sorry to hear about this! Your bank didn't call you when all these transactions were going on??
Make sure you keep an eye out on your credit report now; you never know what else may come up.
You may even want to call your existing credit card companies and tell them so they can issue you new cards since the dumb asses got your SS#.....
Thanks! No the bank didnt call me. I got an email from Target saying that someone opened an account using my debit card. Which was weird b/c I dont have a target account and I've never ordered anything online from them.

Re: I'VE BEEN MUGGED!!!!!
Ohh noo I'm so sorry that happened to you. The same thing happened to me but it was on my credit card. It's horrible to go through that you feel so violated! Hope the bank clears up the mess quickly for you.
