I LOVE my bank! It's a credit union - and I love them! They have a tight fraud security group that will think nothing about calling me to make sure a transaction is legit (day/night/weekend..they don't care what time it is).
Unfortunately...not all transactions are!
I received a call this morning from my bank to validate some recent charges. Gas on Wednesday (yep - legit...I HATE using my debit card for gas purchases. I'm always leering of using my debit in those situations just IN CASE my card gets compromised, I don't want the account I 'live' in to be impacted). Purchase Wednesday on line for an annual membership- Yep, legit. International purchase on Amazon ($180) on Wednesday? Whoa....what? No...not legit. Amazon purchase ($290) this morning? Uhhhhh...no...HELL NO! Uggggggggg!
My credit card got jacked! Under the bank's direction I cut up my card immediately and they closed it out, sending me a new card. Fortunately the charges were removed from my account and will be completely investigated by their fraud department.
It's so frustrating but it could have been a LOT worse!
