Bank Fraud

[fluffymark]

Some despicable meanie has cloned my bankcard, and has been withdrawing 1000 american dollars from my account every day for the last week from banks in California. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Only noticed this morning when I got my bank statement. Phoned bank, who were very nice, and didn't know how it happened, but I should eventually get all the money back (which is lots), although not sure in time to pay rent next week, or even whitby costs. Meanwhile, I have no money.

People who do that sort of thing often don't actually make the copy of the card for a good 6 months or so, because poeple who tend to only now and again check their bank statements, are more likely to check the one after a restaurant trip where the card got taken out of sight, then continue not really looking at the statements after that.

Eeeep. The evil meanies!! Very cunning.

Anyway, i'm pretty sure these people were hardly doing the sly approach. Even if i didn't look at my statements, i was certainly going to notice this amount of money suddenly having vanished.
