Worst thing imaginable-UPDATE

Original post by concon361

I found out yesterday that someone got a hold of my ATM card number and pin (i did't lose it and no one stole it, I still have the card in my possession). But to add insult to injury, not only did they get away with money, it was from the wedding account! Although I am insured and the money goes back, I feel absolutely helpless and violated!
I have spent all day contacting every agency under the sun to make sure that I am not an identity theft case!
So my advise to you from this experience:
-Do not use mom and pop ATMs (they could have a scanner attached to them)
-Change your pin number every 6 months or so
-be careful when entering your pin number anywhere, you never know who is watching you

I hope that this never ever happens to any of you, it totally s*cks. I hope they catch these people, but I am sure that they were long gone as soon as my account was frozen!


Update:
THey put all of themoney back in my account today! Every penny!! Washington Mutual saved Christmas! Thanks for all of the
