So I was going to run the my initial tune on the FD at the track. I go to the bank to get some mula. The ATM wont give me anything .The teller says I had a deposit not cleared and a $270.00 pending charge.

Wait ...no I dont.

That was Wed. I forgot to follow up but on Sat. I go online and I have 50 charges pending.Fedex and some media groups.WTF????

Now I will say that I do Paypal, online RX7 stores, Amazon etc. so someone got my debit card and used it to open up a Fedex account, UPS account and a DLH account and sent American Express Cheques all over..

I dont know how they get benefits but it fucked me out of $1,800.00 and made Christmas a worry.

I look for the security signs on websites but I can say they didnt get my name right but did get the address right....I usually dont put my real(complete) name on stuff so that why I knew it was from an online theft.

Hope this doesn't get to many of you guys.

The Cheques if real, were shipped out of Carlsbad, Ca.Fed Ex office.

Most banks cover fraud, i try and stick to only using my paypal account online and i am using a new system that creates a random debit card number everytime i purchase something... it's good for that purchase and that's it.



AND I've now set up my etrade with an electronic device that creates a random password every 30 seconds. From the sounds of it... ie u say it's a name used on like S. Martin my guess is you got a keystroke logger (yea that happened to me remember) or whomever you made the purchase with was violated and they stored your data (one reason i never stored cc data for my customers).



I don't know who your bank is, but they should cover it, i know mine calls when they see lots of charges like that, in fact etrade just called me yesterday.



Cancel all your cards and re-order them also NEVER use a debit card online, it gives them access to YOUR money, when you use a credit card, it's pretty hard for the cc company to not cover your losses as you didnt sign anything , etc, etc.....



Keep us posted and don't sweat it over the weekend....... it's only money and you can't use it to purchase happiness nor will you be able to spend it when your dead.
