Well I have a $50 donation to this site and $570 for an unlocked note both sent thru Paypal via e-check (I don't link my cards to Paypal) waiting to clear on the 14th. Then two days ago my account was hit for enough money to damn near clear it out. I had about 2 grand in there.

So now my paypal transactions may not go through...oh and I had $206 going from Paypal to my bank account which was due to clear on the 14th also. Already called the guy I'm buying the Note from (on XDA) and gave him a heads up and told him it may not clear but I still want to buy the Note so worst case scenario I'll just overnight him a money order once all this gets straightened out.

I'm locked out of my online banking for security purposes and my debit card is now no good. Waiting on my new card to get here in 5 to 7 business days and have to wait til the charges they made either clear or are denied as right now they are pending. I can't file a claim with the fraud department til those charges come out of pending status.


FML!!!! I work in a fed prison....tonight may just be the night I pick on all the inmates I know have theft on their rap sheet lol.

Ouch sorry for your losses man. The worst part is having to redo all of your accounts.

5/3rd actually said they would do them for me if I wanted, but I'm going to elect not to. I'll do them manually and I agree it is going to SUCKKKKK. Netflix, Amazon, Google, Utility Bills, etc...

I feel your pain brother. My wife had her debit card stolen sometime back and it was a mission getting everything resolved. Must've been a gang of perverts that stole it since they racked up charges at the Pleasure Emporium (an adult toy store) and a night at one of the motels on the seedy side of town. Lots of fun going over those charges with the bank rep.....

luckily we caught it early (or they caught it early, I was visiting family during the times it happened). Mine was hit for charges of $209 to a magazine subscription, $49 or so to Blizzard entertainment....one more reason to hate WoW now...thieves probably bought the game....a bunch of $1 Google charges....had to make sure it wasn't me buying apps, but I haven't bought any apps lately...etc ....etc. Glad there were no adult toy store purchases lol.

W/ that said I just hope they get my money back in there as soon as possible. I've went through the all my charges in the last 48 hours with 3 different reps and know exactly which ones are mine and which aren't.

I can just see that talk about the charges to the adult toy store. "No sir, I mean....yes we've had previous charges to buy some toys...what can I say, we keep it interesting, but no she did not buy the swing set and 24" double ended..." well ya keeping it PC lol

LOL!!! Good for you someone caught it early. Hopefully they can trace it back to whoever dipped into your account.

Hoping they can also, that way I know which site it happened from and can alert them if possible.

Awhile back a bunch of us on ar15.com got hit from a tactical website when their system was compromised. That was on a credit card and with so many people having it happen to them it was a very easy process to go through. This one I think will be a bit trickier....

I rmbr long ago if you had a debit card and your account got cleaned the bank would not do anything about it, they wouldnt even investigate it. My dad was once om vacation im punta cana, he swiped the card at the wrong shop few days later he got hit with a 400$ from ebay. Citi bank just pointed the middle to him. Thats why when i got a account at bank of america and told me if any charges wore made to my account they would refound me them i was shocked.
