something fishy going on
| Thu, 08-26-2004 - 11:08am |
I found two transactions on my bank statement from last month that occured in a place neither DH nor I have ever been to. I notified them of these charges and asked about disputing them and getting our money back. SO now I'm wondering if the information from our debit card wasn't lifted while we were at a local military exchange or something. Either that or DH is totally lieing to me about it, and I'm going to be hugely upset if that's the case. A stranger is one thing but if DH is lieing that'll be even worse!!

Another thing: its not safe to use your debit card anymore. Use a credit card and then pay off it with your checking account, sure. But if you're both running around exposing your debit card number to bunch of places with tons of employees, things can happen. Just be suspicious. I am thinking that your husband is not lying to you, but that there is a scamming employee or something going on. You need to take safeguards. If after you cancel your acct and more "weird" charges start hitting again, I would have a serious discussion with your husband about not using his debit card. Just have him use his credit card...Fraudulent charges are covered and protected with a credit card more than with a debit where bank investigations can ty up funds for a while figuring out what happened. Let your bank know immediately though. They can probably find out more for you.
Hope this helps.

If your debit card has a Visa or Mastercard logo - it follows the EXACT same rules and regs as any credit card.
