Someone got us for $1300
Well, last night when I tried to check in using my debit/check card, it was declined. I was shocked because I called the bank before I left and told then of our travel plans. Evidently, on the day we checked out of Day's Inn in Selma, my credit card number was sold on the internet. Within a few minutes, someone "swiped" my card at a Walmart in Dallas for $650 and it was "swiped" again in Arlington Virginia in a Walmart for $647. Then a few minutes later, someone used it at a Budget Rent a Car in Virginia City VA but it didn't go thru. Of course, I called the Bank and they took care of everything. At this point, we are not sure who sold my credit card info on the net. I guess it could have been anyone since our trip began. I used it at 5 restaurants and 3 motels.

Do you need some $$$ - I can wire to you - just let me know. How weird - the south has a really weird underbelly
ReplyDeleteyou could be on dateline with that story - i'm thinking i will never sign one of those card slips - they then have your signature...i have long thought that walmart employees are running scams - i have tried to figure out what it is...and how it's done - i have to review food stamp card purchases and have found some "oddities" at walmart - most occuring in the wee hours of the morning involving purchases of hundreds of dollars in one swipe...(a walmart without a grocery store - how many bags of potato chips and cracker jacks would you have to buy!!! i'm thinking they have found a way to convert the food card to a cash refund but can't seem to crack the code. i'll never stop trying though.
ReplyDeleteAnother Walmart comment for Lee:
ReplyDeleteI have seen the cashier take food stamp coupons for purchasing DIAPERS!!!! How illegal is that???? Our tax dollars at work.
...and i thought i was the only one who had any of those old paper coupons left... yeah - so - that's what i mean about walmart...there's something fishie going on over there...and about those tax dollars...you totally don't want to know...
