Well, I *was* having a good day.

To the everloving jackass who managed to get ahold of my debit card number and is using it to buy gas in Georgia:

Go die in a fire. Just. Do it. I have no idea how you got ahold of my number (especially since you don't physically have my card), but I sure as freaking hell don't appreciate it.

So yeah. DIAF. I'll even be a nice person and light it on for you.

SO MUCH BURNING HATRED,

Kiaxet

OMG. That is so fucking fucked up.

You should sue.

Stupid jerk.

And the thing is, until I got that call at about 5:30, I was having an incredibly good day. ;_;

Oh believe me, if I ever find out who the hell is doing this...

I had a similar problem a few weeks ago, someone got my debit number and was buying hundreds of dollars worth of stuff at various Walmarts in Michigan. They didn't physically have my card either. Not cool.

[kiaxet]

Wait, you too? Do you have any idea how they might have gotten your number (or, come to think of it, how they were using it without physically having the card)?

Because this is just bizarre.

I've got no idea. I did think it was somewhat ironic that I made it through a whole year in Europe with no card troubles, only to come home and have this hit me.

[kiaxet]

Same here, actually. Strangely enough, I haven't been using my card at all recently - the only purchase I made was a song off iTunes a few days ago. Maybe I should give Apple a call about that.

Did you manage to get things straightened out?

[enna-xor.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I went into the bank the next day to turn in a statement, they prevented the transactions from going through (they were all in pending I believe, so the money never actually left my account), and I was sent a new card.

...motherfucker. >: (

...er. Pardon. -_-;

[kiaxet]

Oh no. Please. By all means.

WTF MATE.

Have you called your bank to see about getting the number changed? - Well probably not because it's night now and they're closed but that should be the biggest thing to do.

Geez... what a mess. Shall we go down to Georgia lookin' for a soul to steal?

[kiaxet]

Actually, they called me. Hi, is this Kiaxet? Have you been traveling in Georgia lately? Well, there have been some suspicious charges on your card lately at Georgia gas stations - do you know anything about it?

And all this time I'm standing there absolutely gobsmacked with my mom (who originally answered the phone) wondering what's going on.

Basically, they disabled my card. They're going to send me a new one soon.

The best part is, I just went to the bank today to deposit my paycheck. Way to freaking go, huh?

Yes. I agree on all accounts.

You can dispute the charges, so don't worry about losing any money. It's good that they caught it early.
