It had something to do with the banks<br />rules on how much they were obligated to help you with the fraudulent lose. Seems credit card rules keep you a bit safer. With ATMs, the money can be just wiped out.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01818387893675148494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8625049441358125186.post-43011233307714746802012-04-21T18:41:38.713-04:002012-04-21T18:41:38.713-04:00I got this same post on my blog too a few days ago...I got this same post on my blog too a few days ago... and there is an embedded link in the text... its for a website and I sure didn't click on it, and you probably shouldn't either.

(It gives us cash back, even on our diesel purchases!) <br /><br />But we have a line of credit attached to our checking account/debit card situation and would really really hate to ever have that compromised. Oh my they could go to town on that one!!! ouch! I think we are going to re-figure that ourselves. Thanks for the heads up and hope yours is taken care of speedy quick!<br /><br />~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~<br />Karen and Steve<br />(Our Blog) RVing: Small House...

But we put EVERYTHING on our credit card and then pay it off each month. I like to have the records. You probably remember the hassle with our bank cutting off the card anytime anything looked the least bit odd. What a PIA but I sure don't want what happened to you. Seems really unfair for either you or your bank have to suck up your loss?? I just don't feel that as a species we humans are going at all in the right direction. There is just too much to worry about and too many bad guys.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00328866430156879312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8625049441358125186.post-12876048439657663222012-04-20T10:29:21.111-04:002012-04-20T10:29:21.111-04:00Similar thing happened to me last month.

We have alerts sent on our Droid phone that tells me when certain transactions have happened. I can set the criteria for what I want to know about. I'm thinking I will add more alerts and lower the amounts.<br /><br />Glad your bank was alert and got it stopped.<br /><br />Hope you enjoyed your new bed!Karen and Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15284661066870109259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8625049441358125186.post-24348229319244032712012-04-20T07:49:19.388-04:002012-04-20T07:49:19.388-04:00Nice to see that your bank was on the ball, hope y...Nice to see that your bank was on the ball, hope you get your money back soon.our awesome travelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13031755671050584629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8625049441358125186.post-35359851564257956612012-04-20T07:22:35.664-04:002012-04-20T07:22:35.664-04:00Try as we might, it's impossible to stay secur...Try as we might, it's impossible to stay secure in this day and age of 'convenience technology'.
