Stolen Debit Card

[wnxmaximus]

So I am waiting on the line with Bank of America. Someone stole an old debit card of mine (thought I cut em all up). Well today I get online, someone bought over 200 dollars of gas in one day using my account, in FLORIDA. It was such a surprise to see so much money missing. This is so jacked up.

Hey, file your card stolen right away, they'll ask if you charged it or not and they'll erase it for you. Happened to me before.

Yes you need to immediately contact your card provider

Hick,

Just dispute the charges. BOA will refund it almost immediately.

when my sis-in-law came to visit she left her debit card at walmart and when she came home she has 2400 spent on it...her bank refunded all of.

Scary that someone could spend that much money on a debit card like a credit card...I mean does no one ask for identification or even attempt to match a signature.

I hope you get all your $$ back wayne, I mean alex.

I don't put my signature on the back of any card becuase of how if it was stolen the person could easily mimic my signature.

yeah but you can't leave it blank because then the person who stole it can sign it. Then if you put see ID on the back everyone gets all pissy at the check-out counter and they don't look anyway. sucks either way

Wayne,

Whoever stole your sh!t is going to rob a liquor store in Florida. Then when you go through the airport and the name "Wayne OlPaleOne Gibson" comes up, you're getting detained. That will suck dude.

well ain't that a *****... i've had my debit card compromised without ever losing a card too, and also my credit card stolen from my gym locker in the last couple of years.

If I could just my hands on those people... well, I'd probably turn 'em over to BG=LD for a whoopin

[wnxmaximus]

[flippin it]

glad everything is fixed! for the signature on the back of mine i put in bold writing CHECK I.D. ...even then the cashiers dont ask for it. kinda makes me upset.

You really should be signing the card anyway. I usually sign really lightly in pen, then right over it in marker in huge letters. ASK FOR ID. All three credit card companies advise that you SHOULD sign your card. Merchants are not supposed to accept your credit cards if they aren't signed. Granted most merchants disregard this but I have been turned away because my card wasn't signed. By signing your card normally then writing over in large print SEE ID or ASK FOR ID you do your best to protect against fraud.
