Someone cloned my debit card!

I looked at my on-line bank statement and there is about a $1000++ in charges that I didn't make! Most of them to a hotel! (I haven't been in a hotel in a year.) It sounds like a no-tell motel as well. Lisa's Travel lodge? Doesn't even say where it's at, or their number.

I called my bank right away and had them cancel my Debit Card and put me in for a new one. I am VERY careful about using it, but I do make purchases on-line. (I guess I will have to start using that "In Private" feature of Windows 7! ) Now I have to go into my bank and fill out forms to try and get my money back! :mad:

It's best if you don't use the debit feature and use it as a regular charge card I've been told. Easier to get moeny back by far!

I'm glad they didn't drain it, and that I caught it fast!

If someone tried that poo with my card, they would quickly get a bunch of "declined" results.

Just to note: using a card online in almost all cases is no more risky as it is using it in a regular store. For some reason that fallacy just won't die.

very true. Amex called my wife and said someone at a dept store punched the card number in to purchase something there. Prob a store clerk who saved the number. Good thing Amex has a good fraud team.

      Houston Texans... You Suck!!!

      Agents have been out-negotiating GMs for years. That's why they had to implement the rookie wage scale. Top drafted rookies were basically starting to walk into the NFL as some of the highest paid guys in the league. Take it up in the next CBA. In the meantime, it is what it is. Agents hold the upper hand in these rookie negotiations and they know it. The teams already have a significant unrecoverable investment spent on these draftees in the value of the pick that they spent. Given the rookie wage scale there's not much to negotiate other than guarantees and offset language and once again the agents are kicking the GMs' asses again.

      Except it's not about the money, it's precedent and teams not wanting to go down that path.  Once you guarantee all the 2nd rounders, then the 3rd rounders will want it, and so on.  If they keep viewing it as say, "well it's only X amount of money" then it's a slippery slope that doesn't end. Then you get Free Agents saying, "well if you're fully guaranteeing the contract of an unproven 57th pick of the draft, you clearly should be fully guaranteeing mine as your big FA signing this offseason" The NFL doesn't work with fully guaranteed contracts under it's current cap model.  If you want to give them out to the true elite of the elite players at impact positions like QB and Edge, then so be it, but there needs to be a line in the sand or it will get real messy.

      I really don't think it's that debatable. New England had some argument but our roster was far worse, IMO.
