My debit card

armilite
got hacked yet again. It got it when the Home Depot thing occurred then again when the Target thing happened ( the one time I went there in 8 months ) and again when the Harbor Freight fiasco went down.
This time I don't know how it happened but they spent $228 at Subway $168 at of all places the Glock store and $330 + from Cheaper then dirt. There were a few others like Pizza Hut and the Wing Stop. The thing that pisses me off is that pretty much everyone here knows how I feel about Glocks. I haven't spent a dime at Cheaper then Dirt in about 5 years. I don't do Subway and I don't do Wings. Plus there were a few others in there as well. At least they could of spent the money at places I visit. I went to the bank the following day and got a new debit card and they said I should get my money back in 7-10 days, lets hope so.

And then the next day I came in the house and immediately went down the basement steps. I was kinda like snow blinded and I missed the last 3 steps ouch.

    Hi Zink how have you been ??????? The problem with those 3 store hacks is that I was only in each of those stores one time in 8 months.

    I'd check my local range to see if anyone shooting a Glock has a cooler full of sandwiches.  ;)

    Well it appears all those bogus charges were out in California.

    Never use a debit card!  If it gets hacked, the money is taken directly out of your account and you have to work to get it back. Use a credit card instead. If it is hacked, it is easy to cancel the bad transactions.

    Or it might be this fellow:

    $228 in sandwiches might be an average lunch for him.

    You need to change banks if you have to work at it to get your money back on a debit card.

    If my credit card gets hacked I have to call the credit card company and talk to their computer for a few minutes to get routed to the correct department that handles the card and then I'm put on hold for 10 to 20 minutes while I wait on the next available person to take my call. 

    If my debit card gets hacked I call the local bank branch where I have my account which is just down the road from my house and I don't get put on hold and they take care of my problem immediately. I can either drive over that day and get a replacement card or if I'm in no hurry they'll mail it to me.

    If you use a credit card like Capital One you you can set up all kinds of alerts.  I get a text for each purchase.  If something is purchased from someone I don’t usually purchase from I get a text to approve the purchase.

    i have a prepaid debit card only and mainly only use that for traveling when I need some cash from an ATM.  If the card gets hacked they are not getting much.

    Rather then actual food or goods many of these criminals purchase gift cards which require no id and are not tracked - they become trade goods like cash or can be used for goods and services...

    That way they get as much off of your account as possible and going forward are spending with legitimate cards that cannot be traced to them or you.

    The big stores like Lowe's and home depot and target get this all the time - pharmacies and gas stations and food stores as well.

    Underground economy - you always see these cards for sale or trade online...

    Just mho.
