A Not So Pleasant Surprise Yesterday I thought I'd lie down to nap. As usual, I lay there for maybe 30 minutes. When I checked my phone later, I found that my bank's Fraud & Protection group had called me SIX times! Oh Lordy. I immediately called them and learned that my bank card had been compromised once again. It all started when I filled my van at a Quik-n-EZ. When I inserted my card at the first pump, the display said, "Chip Card Cannot Be Read. Pay Inside". I was on the outside line, far from the cashier, instead of walking there, I moved the van to a different pump. This one operated just fine. And that's when things started. The next charge, or attempted charge, was for $74, at the same location. They also tried to sign me up for an account on some website. My bank declined both of those charges. Lucky me. I ended up visiting the bank and getting a new card. Except now I need to make sure that the 3-4 'auto-pays' have the correct card listed. I know the auto-pay thing is so convenient, but there are times where I wish I paid everything with cash. It's so much safer! Once you have an internet presence, you give up your privacy, and as far as money goes, you are not safe! Thank God my bank is pretty diligent about their Fraud detection. |
