Yesterday morning I looked into our on line account and noticed we only had 22.35 in it. What da hell. Before viewing our account I transferred three grand from our savings to cover anything that we had going out. I noticed our account was used at a military BX in Texas. I asked Linda did she buy anything on line or order anything she said no. It seems her debit card got hacked somewhere. When she went in yesterday she had the bank open an investigation to see what happened which takes a couple of weeks. In the mean time the bank credited out account for the missing money. It seems that both Linda and I both use our debit card for just about everything, which also can be used a a credit card too. The banks fraud dept was saying this is bad to use a debit card because you have to use your pin number and at gas stations,banks..ect..ect, any ATM machines they have found scanners that can track your account and get your account and pin number. I hope the person or persons that hacked into our account at that BX get caught which should be a pretty good chance because Linda found out that at that BX they have video cameras inside and outside the business. The pisser about the whole thing wasn't the money as much as having to get a new account and new debit cards. I have auto payment for just about everything and now have to go in and change all the accounts including PP,ect..ect. The bank fraud dept. also suggested we change all of our password for all of our accounts..ect..ect. They also suggested we should have already been in the habit changing our passwords once a month to prevent things like this. We also have Lifelock which also suggested this too.The banks fraud dept said they should be able to track where her card was hacked but take a few weeks. How it ended up in Texas is beyond me.:isadizzy:
