Went to dinner last night with my wife and my card was declined..... Checked my checking balance this today and it's down to 89.xx

Now I have to wait until tomorrow ( Monday ) to go down to my bank and get this all taken care of. I fucking hate having this kind of shit happen. This will be the second time I've had to change my card number.

I think I'm going to stick to paying cash as much as possible from now on.

Do you use your card at gas stations? I had my info stolen because someone put an extra card reader thing in a gas pump. My bank told me to never put my PIN number at the pump, use it as credit or go inside. The people that stole my info actually made a card and withdrew money from an ATM, was a shit show to get my money back!

^ Yeah but I usually hit the credit button and punch in my zip code. Luckily I'm with a credit union and have been a long time member. The last time this happend they put the money back into my account right away.

I remember seeing a report on this also. Thieves have a device that doesn't even have to touch you or the card, they simply just run it over your wallet/purse and boom. They now have your info.

Cash is king and cash is real, at least for now.

My bank has text alerts so if anything more than 100 bux goes thru I get a text or if my balance is below 1000 I get a text. Helps me stop spending like a madman.

My bank is only open mon-fri so I'll update you tomorrow when I get this settled. I'll also have a better idea of where my card was nabbed to give the local guys a heads up.

I barter for everything, no need to worry about cash or credit cards.

Fuck those scammers! I can't stand thieves! I should start using cash/credit bc I use debit a lot. Hope everything works out.

I work for the card fraud department of a well known local bank.

The only way to be safe is to not have a card. But banks are quick to give the money back for unauthorized transactions. The thing that holds the money from being put back are customers that are lazy and lag on doing their part on returning documents.

anybody who uses card readers at gas stations, atms, stores, etc...check the actual card reader itself and see if its been tampered with, loose, extra wires in the card reader slot, shit like that...report it! so local pd can case it and bust these scumbags red handed!
