Aww sorry that happened to you. I certainly understand you beign angry. I would be too. It's a recession and people will try and run all kinds of scams. They are getting smarter and smarter. Everyone should pay close attention to their transactions and balances. I hope they get this matter resolved soon for you.

Girl I have been there.... I know it is a hassle but at least you will get your $$$$ back a few years ago I got my purse snatched and had some cash in it and it was gone for good. Glad they didn't clean you out! That is why I check my account daily also sign up for text alerts if your bank offers it.

Someone probably made a duplicate copy of your card...it happened to a homegirl of mine

Bank of america is really good in instances like this...

That's some BS thought, I'm glad it wasn't your last :-)

Already happened to me ! My neighbor that lived down the hall from me got a hold of some checks that had been mailed to me ( the mailboxes were down stairs ) . He knew me but not by my first name ..... so this ninja takes the checks and bought him a car with a sound system and all , he road past me everyday with that s*** and I had no idea !!!!! He and one of his girlfriends went to MY bank over and over again and used my checks with no ID ! You know the place on the check where you sign what the check is for .... she actually wrote " Sittin and things " ( what the f*** does that mean ??? ) and they cashed that s*** . Now I was 18 years old and was trying to buy a house so I was stacking my money , I never checked the account unless the sent a statement from the bank or I made a deposit . Well one day when I was making a deposit , I notice that there was $3000 dollars extra in the account ! I was happy as hell but my mom told me that something was wrong , so I went to the bank and they had stolen someone 's AFDC check from Atlanta and deposited it to make it look like the money was still in the account but of course the checks weren't good ! So I had to go through all kind of b******* to get my name straight , Kendall Toyota tried to take me to jail ! They came and took the car from my neighbor ( who was stupid enough to take a picture at the car dealer ) but did not take him to jail ??? So I understand ,I feel so bad for you but you have got to be extremely careful with your money , these banks are not full proof and they will freeze your assets until they clear it up ! Check your account every two days if you can !!!!! Trust me I know !

@Officall Groupie, bet that bastid was saying "what's up" and throwing up the 'peace' sign to you and all, all the while plotting behind your back...that's messed up.

That's why I like Amex, they just give you your money back, no issues or questions asked...the burden is normally on the vendor for allowing unauthorized used or for not checking ID.

File a police repot, maybe you already have ASAP so whoever used your card maybe was caught on camera. Somebody used my friend's AMEX but AMEX just refunded it. The police pulled all the videos @the gas station, the market..they went everywhere! AMEX did not pursue and it was over $1,000 but less then $2,000 in charges. The police though they will pull the tapes! You can now file police reports online..if you are too busy to go to the station. But I don't know if I wanted the individuals caught, I'd go in person.

Pain in the a$$ when this ish happens. I agree, check your account everyday. Got into that habit when I worked in the bank and saw how difficult it was to get your money back.
I hope you get this resolved ASAP.

Same thing happened to me. I had $2500 taken from my account and the only reason I knew was because the card company called me and was like "Miss C.J., we were calling to confirm a few items that seem out of the norm for your spending habits" I'm like wtf?? You mean that high ass electricity bill I just paid? "No, ma'am, you just bought a $600 couch from IKEA, $300 at Old Navy,ect ect and bs and bs". I had to go and file gotdamn police reports go up to the gotdamn bank and fill out more paper work. Just to get my money back. The damn bank said I had to file charges with each city the lil fks bought all that crap from in order to get charges pressed. BS, so not only was a ROBBED but then they go scott free??!?!?! Ain't that a b****. And this was when gas was high so you know they went and filled up!Fkrs.

Lesson to be learned. I know it's easy to pull plastic (debit cards especially ) and pay for dinners, gas and shopping. However, it's very easy to become a victim of fraud this way. I know it's a hassle but go to the bank and pull out cash and pay for things. It's so easy to use someone else card to make online purchases. I worked used to work for the fraud department for a major online retailer and about 99% of the victims still had the card in their possession.
