Well... the nerve. We were able to track some good, detailed info on it. And also get the "order" stopped before it completely posted at the bank. I am following up big time and our local sheriff's dept is assisting. These criminals messed with the wrong people - I don't just 'let things go' :) The question is, how did it happen in the first place? This card has extremely limited use... but it's proof that it can happen, even when you're careful! -TammyFlat Creek Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13628767205698280033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36183952.post-35510759318745910002010-09-29T07:55:39.069-05:002010-09-29T07:55:39.069-05:00I just had an issue with my debit card.

There are folks out there that somehow or another are able to get your card number and pin number from the outside gas pumps, which i used to use all the time. Specificly at one station. They withdrew $300.00 from my account. It was withdrew from USA Bank in CA. With my card number and pin. So now i will not use my card at a gas pump anymore. It's scary that this type of thing happens. I was lucky my bank was able to see my card had been compromised and sent me another and gave me back my money i lost. But these folks can just bleed you dry. Such a shame. If it hadn't been for onlines services i wouldn't have noticed it as soon as i did.

He believes they are as safe as credit cards. They are backed by the same credit card companies usually. We use our debit card for every single purchase just about and we have never had a problem. There will always be that "what if" factor. Credit card numbers are just as easily stolen. Debit cards usually offer the same kind of protection. You should definitely be wary but also talk to your bank about it. <br /><br />Ingaingasmilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13937279012682883776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36183952.post-21019873697449649352010-09-29T07:22:24.549-05:002010-09-29T07:22:24.549-05:00You are a wise woman Donna.

I found out in the past that they can easily get out of control because it is too easy to use them in emergencies. I no longer have extra cash to pay big bills so I opt out and will not have one.I'm mostly known as 'MA'https://www.blogger.com/profile/12107548726472541669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36183952.post-86178277069625375142010-09-29T07:03:49.913-05:002010-09-29T07:03:49.913-05:00A couple of years ago someone used my Visa/Debit c...A couple of years ago someone used my Visa/Debit card to go buy online dating services. After spending about 800 bucks, that person I guess got lucky and purchased a plane ticket to Chicago. The total came to 1,500 plus dollars. Luckily I check my account almost daily and I noticed the purchases right away. I have a great relationship with my bank and drove there the next day. They looked at my transactions and said that it didn't even look like anything that I would purchase. Within 24 hours, the money was back in my account.<br />My advice is, NEVER, NEVER wait for you statement to come in the mail. Go to their website daily to see what's going on in your account!!Tango's Going Onshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12952742146679076712noreply@blogger.com
