Did I ever show you guys the Afghan From Hell? (Leenie, do not look at your overdue birthday/graduation/divorce present! You’ll see it in a month.)
The whole “someone stole my debit card number” situation is still more than just a little surreal to me, but after a long talk with my new best friend, Chris-at-the-bank this morning, I’m feeling better about the whole situation. He said it’s looking like my money should be back in my account by tomorrow, and if I don’t see it by tomorrow morning I should call him and he’ll fix it. See why Chris-at-the-bank is my new best friend?
Chris-at-the-bank also told me that the people who got my card number didn’t swipe the magnetic strip info on my card as well. Basically what he thinks happened was that someone wrote down my debit card number and sold it to a place that makes bogus cards. A bogus card was made with a “damaged” strip so that when it was used, they would be unable to swipe the thing, they would have to punch in the info. The bogus card most likely didn’t even have my name on it, just the number and a random name.
Chris-at-the-bank gave me a tour into the shady this morning, for which I would like to thank him. Chris, you may have my firstborn child in return for your diligence. And I’m keeping an eye on those people at Dallas BBQ from now on, because that was the last place I used my debit card before it got swiped. Damn them and their cheap margaritas and humongous portions of rotisserie chicken for $5!
