Ketia0 0 #1 April 5, 2010 Then it does. [:-(] I went to the corner store to get a RedBull... And my debit card got declined. So I immediately went online to figure out what was going on, and my account showed $200 negative! I couldnt believe it. I called the card company... Somehow somebody got my card number and ran up over $700 in charges on it. I cancelled the card, and im calling the internet site that my card was used on. Who ever did it, did it today. So hopefully I can stop the company from shipping anything out... Jerks..... And then to make things worse... I may be getting into a bit of trouble at work... I dont want to say to much this early... But all I gatta say is this... If you dont want anyone seeing pictures of you on a pole then dont put it on a shared company computer..... Hmmm... I hope next weekend is beautiful... I just want to get lost in the sky. Lifes stressful!!"In this game you can't predict the future. You just have to play the odds.

ryoder 1,590 #3 April 5, 2010 Some bozo got my AmEx info about a year ago. Then tried to make a bunch of charges on it. The only charge AmEx allowed to go through was to a company selling business supplies. Get this; The idiots accepted a charge: 1. On a card registered to an address in Colorado. 2. With a phone number from Ohio. 3. To a shipping address in Maine. When the Maine PD finally investigated the shipping address, it turned out to be some clueless fool woman who was accepting tons of stuff, then boxing it up in bulk "for a friend" and shipping it to Nigeria. AmEx was cool about it, and canceled the charges. I now do my online shopping with a card that enables my to create alias numbers with a cap on charges, and a short expiration date.

evilivan 0 #7 April 6, 2010 Been there.... it sucks. Had over £12,000 worth (note that is pounds not dollars!) taken from my company Amex, and my debit card was copied once - the bank got suspicious when there was a purchase in Tobago, followed by one in Karachi about 3 hours later (and I was travelling to Turkey at the time). On the bright side, they caught the guy with the Amex and he is currently doing time "If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation."

riddler 0 #10 April 6, 2010 I gave my credit card to Maggiano's in Denver, and I was in a hurry, and never asked for it back. The waiter there didn't offer it back either. Six hours later, three kids took it to a gas station that didn't have any video cameras outside (they had them inside) and filled up their gas tank with it. The cops got pictures of the kids, but not the license plate. Then they went to Walmart and bought two large screen televisions. The very happy Walmart salesperson didn't bother to ask for an I.D. On $6,000 worth of electronics. Hell, I get I.D.'d when I buy a $4 orange juice at Jamba Juice. I went down there the next day, and the manager knew I was pissed and wouldn't let me talk to anyone about it. The cops got pictures of them again, but not very good ones. Then they went into a pawn shop and tried to buy $5,000 worth of diamonds. At that point, the credit card company put the brakes on. I called the pawn shop and bitched them out, while the lady on the other end swore she thought they were suspicious, and didn't want to charge the credit card. I asked her if that's why the credit card company said she tried to run the card *three times* (never mind the lack of I.D.). There's more criminals out there than just the people that use other's credit cards.Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
airtwardo 7 #11 April 6, 2010 I was at a restaurant in Malibu years ago and out in the parking lot realized I'd forgotten my AMX card...went in and asked the hostess who proceeded to hand me Carrol O'Connor's AMX card!

BillyVance 35 #12 April 7, 2010 A few years ago I was having breakfast at a very busy restaurant, not a chain type, just a unique one specializing in crepes. I paid with my bank debit card. Got the card back, or so I thought. That afternoon I used the card to pay at the pump for gas (it did not require any verification like a PIN or zip code). The next day I went to the bank to withdraw cash from my account, and was rejected. Then I looked at the card. Same bank as mine, but a different name! Shit! Went right inside and explained the situation. They told me the owner of the card I had called too and had mine. They credited her account with the gas charge I made the day before and I was issued a new card. Whew, there are still some good people out there.
