I am in a tizzy. What's a tizzy? If you don't know, ask me at a later date, k? I'm in too much of one to answer properly.
Today, as I usually do on Fridays, I went online to check our available checking account balance, to check to make sure M's check had been credited as it is every Friday and what that total amount was. I'm unusually (or not) anal-retentive about our checking account. If it doesn't balance to the penny, it can throw me into a fit. (should there be a comma there?)
Anyway...I went online, I checked the available amount and it was...are you ready? Almost TWO THOUSAND effin' dollars in the negative!!! Someone has evidently used my debit card to make a purchase at Northern Tools for $1765.08...SOMEone. Not me. I've been on the phone with the catalog sales department as well as every store in South Carolina trying to figure out where this purchase could have been made. I've also been on the phone with the bank to start a fraud investigation. I can't imagine HOW this could've happened. Thank God the bank has released the funds back into our account and not made us wait for further investigation.
On another, much lighter, note...I've recently happened upon this blog. She is totally hilarious and beautiful and has the most awesome name...April, of course. :) Check her out....you'll love her, too.

Oh God. Thats is so scary April...and uncanny that I wrote about fraud today too.
It's great that the bank have given you the money back...but I just hope that whoever did this is caught.
Bastards.
That is way scary! I hope you find out how this happened and the person responsible pays, literally.
April! That was so sweet of you to link me. Thank you for your kind words. It's hard to believe that I type up all my mental vomit and some people actually find it amusing. :)
I am so sorry to hear about your checking account. These account takeovers are a scary thing and definitely on the rise. And most of the time there is no way to tell how they got your info in the first place. It's a good thing your bank is being so supportive of you. Good luck getting it resolved!
OMG! I'm the same way about my account. If I see a debit I don't recognize I'm immediately on the phone with the bank. Usually, it's just me the ding-dong that forgot to write it down...
Still though, I start having heart palpitations.
I'm glad your bank has you back. Alot of them make you wait until the investigation is completed.
I hope you have a better weekend.
Oh April, I am so sorry you have to deal with this. And it is so scary people can access your accounts, isn't it?
Good luck getting it all sorted out.
