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.

Holy shit. You got any idea when the copy was made and where?

EEp, poor bunny.
Money isn't a problem as I have that £50 for you and can lend you some if you need it.

Eek! I must read my bank statement more closely.

Wow, I'm glad you found out sooner rather than later, and very very glad your bank were so understanding. Get on their case to make them sort it out swiftly.

Dont forget to shred reciepts and statements before you bin them too. Guess that doesnt account for California *confused* Maybe someone sold your account details?

ouch! Poor you, thats shit!
the bank should be able to refund quickly? give a big overdraft limit in the meantime?
i'm sure you could persuade them to be helpful somehow!
Good Luck.

Aaaarghhh! Poor you!!

I'd be more than happy to lend you some money in the mean time - my bank account is almost embarrassingly flush(a good few thousand in credit) - so I'd honestly not miss a few hundred for a month or whatever.

eep:( *hugs*
Don't hesitate to ask me if you need to borrow money.

And you sound more careful than me about things - I generally keep track of how much is in my account, but I never think of things like ripping up receipts etc.

Aaaaaaaaargh!

Whoa, they really picked their person to be despicably mean to there. They'd probably cry if they knew what kind of person they'd done this to. *hugshugshugshugshugshugshugshugshugshugshugshugshugshugshugs*

Looks like you have several people offering you money already, which I'm very relieved about because I'm semi-broke ('semi-broke' for me means 'have money for food' :)

Seriously though, I know I don't have much money, but always come to me rather than starve... I don't know what Casby would have to say about this, but as far as I'm concerned I'll always want to help you out as long as I have enough of the jingly stuff to feed us both!
