Had my debit card info stolen

Wanna hear a crazy story? First time I bought a gun off GON i was stupid enough to let the seller take a picture of my drivers license but I requested the same from him. Guess what nailed that bastard 8 months down the road for using my information. Two things. I will NEVER do a bill of sale and I will NEVER allow someone to do anything more than glance at my DL.
 
My debit card was hit a few months back for a 1600$ charge.It was for a carribean vacation.My bank contacted me,they know me well enough that I wouldn't be going their.Apparently my card was skimmed at a shady gas station which I'd never been too before.
 
I use American express for all my purchases and avoid using the fake credit card/ bank card as Clark Howard calls it, you have very little recourse with the ATM card! While ax will back you up with everything


What sux about american express is most places wont take it since the fees are so high.
 
I had one stolen a while back and didnt notice it till bout 3 months later since all the transactions were so small. $50 here $70 there.........totaled about 40 unauthorized transactions. Got my money back though.
 
I have had this happen twice in the past. Both times it was shortly after I had ordered pizza online from Papa Johns. The banks are really good about this and typically refund the money right away.
 
I'm glad that it seems like everyone who has experienced this has gotten their money back. I do feel less stressed reading that. This is my first time with something like this happening so I was freaking out. Now I'm sitting at the bank waiting for them to open because somehow I always end up here too early .

Kinda funny, the one time I got hit, it lead back to a d-bag working at the Pizza Hut call center. Dude had a history of ID theft, and they still hired him.

I get *****ed at all day for not taking AMEX (I'm in Buckhead :rolleyes:). When they ask me why not I'm a real dick and tell them that this is "merica and I CHOOSE not too. Some get pissed but most get embarrassed and go into some rah rah America BS.
