Well, for the second time in the past four months I've been a victim of fraud. Four months ago someone bought $500 worth of stuff from a pep boys in Southern California (I'm in northern Cali). So the bank did an investigation and I got my money back.

Turn forward the clock four months and it happened again. I looked at my bank statement today and someone in made five ATM withdraws in Burbank, CA and West Los Angeles, CA that totaled $600. I never let anyone use my card, never lost my card or anything. Some how they got my pin, re-created a card and started withdrawing money.

What the F is going on! Why don't people go work for their own damn money and stop ripping me off.

This happen to any of you?

 

hmmm...time to start looking at people you know buddy....2 times in 4 months almost always means someone took a peek in your wallet

 

It's only happened to me once, and they got something like 500 dollars in about an hour. Bank gave me the money back and it never happened again. That REALLY sucks that it happened to you again, especially in such a short time frame.

 

that happened to my mom once
she has this belk card thing and someone that worked there wrote down the number and stuff and bought like 500$ in polo shirts XXL. it was some black lady.

 

i'd get the bank to refund, ect. and have them swap over accounts for you.

 

i'd request the banks get the video from the ATM machines...that will tell you who is doing it so you can prosecute their ***!!!

 

you got some bad luck if you ask me.

 

Racist!

 

 

too bad...if they wouldn't make such a bad name for themselves, they might not have that problem

 

LOL... MB... do you hate EVERYTHING in life?

 

Ive had it happen with a credit card and my inlaw has had it happen twice with a credit card. In her case it was when she used the card at a gas station to rent a Uhaul. In my case I think it was in a gas station and I was just getting gas.

In your case its probably someone watching an ATM recording your card with a MICR reader and video spying for pin.

 

I think your probably right. I either think it's a gas station that I use, ATM machine or maybe someone in the bank. It's funny cause both times it's happened the charges are made in Southern California...weird. When I talked to Wells Fargo they took a physical description of me so they could determine it wasn't me making the withdraws. The lady also said they will get the ATM photo's and have me try to identify the person.

I hope they catch the bastards and they go to jail.

 

nah...i dont hate my family, my cat, my mustang, the city i live in, beer, football, college basketball, computers.

 

oh you havent been around computers long enough then...you will hate them if you pursue your college courses, trust me the day is coming!

 

He used to hate himself until he removed all the mirrors in his house, and now he is at peace! *L*

 

A guy I work with said that happened to is woman to the tune of $3500. Took three months to get the money back.

 

haha. and that was racism. it was the truth. some lady spent like 500 on xxl polos. and she just happened to be black

 

nah, i love computers, i can sit behind one all day for like 18 hours, and only get up to go to the bathroom, or grab a quick soda out of the fridge.

i like computers, because in the end I always win, and figure it out, and then it's like booyah bitch, now what you got?

 

You just confirmed it was racism, racist!

 

Racism sucks. Being a racist just doesn't get you anywhere in life. Me, I'm a supremist. I think I'm God.

 

just had to have my amex replaced because of fraud. Some asshat decided to manually key in the number for 50 bucks across the country (S. Carolina) from where it was used just minutes before by me at a gas station. Got to hand it to Amex though... they called me before I got a bill, had a new card to me the next day and took the 50 bucks off the bill. No hassles at all so far with amex.

 

lol...nice.

im not a racist, cause I hate everyone

 

That's cool it worked out for you. I don't have any beef with Wells Fargo either. They recognized a weird pattern of withdraws and alerted me to it, which I'm thankful for. They will put the $600 back in my account today so that's cool. I'm just tired of this crap. Why don't people work for their own money.

 

Times are tough and during the holiday it is even worse. I have the same outlook just work for your money.

 

I signed up for Life Lock over a year ago, after getting hit twice in 2 years.

Haven't had a single problem since.

 

why don't you change banks?

 

I'm planning on it after this is all cleared up....which is hopefully soon.

 

maybe you should check into LIFELOCK..... supposedly thier swervice 100% garauntees you security from identity theft or they will cover the samages 100%.

 

They'll recover their samages? Thank god for that as I wouldn't know what to do if I lost my samage.
