identity theft

Some jackleg/s decided they liked the numbers on my debit card. As of a couple hours ago the bank tells my wife we were hit for around 4k. Seems like the bulk of the transactions have been in the Columbia area. Banker said they started out around $50 then moved up the line to 100/200/400 right on to 1k at a pop. Everything was fine on the statement for June so it had to have started in July. I only use my card for gas so narrowing down where it started should be the simple part. Anybody know a LEO in the cola area that can tell me where to start with filing reports? bad part is I got paid (direct deposit) on Friday and the wife sent out checks for the bills on Monday.

Ours was hit a while back. The security company employed by SC Fed Credit Union called ME and asked if I had been down in Florida making purchases. Nope not me. They stopped that card and I just went to the credit union to look through all the charges. Those that were not mine were flagged and I was reimbursed, no questions asked. I’m sure you already have, but contact the bank first thing and sit-down with them. I’m sure they have seen it a million times.

I was told it is pretty common to make a few small purchases first to see if they can get away with it, then go bigger after that.

Just happened to me too. I’m with SC Fed Credit Union and they reimbursed me. I think the best thing to do is check your account online everyday.

mine was just hit last week. BOA cut my card off and says they will send me a new one. started small then went big, in about two minutes they went from .56 in North Charleston drug store then Houston Tx, then Alaska Air, bank stopped it quick. Said there was no way I could travel that fast. LOL

I do love bank security…I spent 2k on my debit and it wasn’t 15 minutes I got a Call…some people think big brother…but I like it

The wife was taking care of it when she called me. It went like this, 7/29 $200 7/29 $300 7/30 $500 7/31 $500 and so on it was pretty much the same all the way up to yesterday. Man at the bank is getting us 2700 back by tomorrow but the rest is up for investigation. He said the card company is investigating it and he will get back to us. All atm transactions were done in the Columbia area.

My BOA credit card was hit last week. Got an email from them telling about suspicious activity. Looked at my account and there they were. They sent me a new credit card with new number a few days later.

Wonder if we are starting to see results of the state’s IRS site getting hacked a while back.

MPPD wouldn’t walk across the street to view the video footage of the perp who used my wife’s card. mt p has all those murders and rapes you know, so they were tied up.

no offense to DF or any LE.

How do we know you posted this? It could be somebody else…

I use First Citizens but they are going through BOA. Yakman, this is some serious chit. Whoever pinched my numbers for my debit card would have a hard as heck time figuring out my name and password for this site.

Wow, this seems to be way more common than I thought. Sorry this happened to yall.

  • I’d rather be a free man in my grave than living as a puppet or a slave.

None taken there Pea. As jimmy said, this is a VERY common occurrence. So common unfortunately that your case becomes one of so many. These thieves have become very smart in many instances as to how they go about stealing your money. It isn’t that LE doesn’t care, it is simply that such cases take tons of man hours to investigate and to follow the money trail. Most departments do not have the personnel to put the kind of time in to properly investigate such a case. Many times, the banks themselves will have better luck finding facts through the use of their own fraud/theft units.

I’m sorry this happens but until we can lockup all the turds, it will continue.

The Secret Service is charge by law to investigate CC fraud and theft. Problem is a third of them are guarding the skinny socialist his family, VJ and other assholes in the White House. The bank takes the hit and passes it on as fees.

I was fishing on Moultrie one morning and First Federal called me and asked if I was in South Carolina or in Spain. I said SC and they told me someone unlocked my number out of the system and made a duplicate card. Got me for 6500.00 worth of jewlery. First Federal reimbursed the money and gave a new card.

The guy at the bank istrying to figure out how they got my numbers,made a card and used it without a pin#.

so the recurring theme here is that the banks eat the fraud and somehow pass along to all of us a nickle at a time. Is that right?
