I had the pro money but! Almost as soon as I got it somebody wrote a digital check to 1 of my credit cards so that it would have a $3500 credit so they would then go to Costco and spend my credit. F$#*ing identity theft hackers!!!!! If I found them I would personally submit them to torture.
On another note I only have a few days left for my current game to be finished.

    Have you reported them?
  • ChaserChaser Member Posts: 1,453
    Yes! Have to go to bank and close everything. Been on with credit cards as this or these persons requested credit limit increases as well so they could charge it up. The amazing thing is that this is my third attack in 6 years. Guess it's because I have good credit. Guess the 7 year fraud alert on all of my accounts and reporting agencies does no good either

    That's why I prefer to use debit cards in transactions over the internet. I recommend you to open one.

    That's pretty much all I use
    Somehow somebody used my bank routing number to request this huge payment be sent to Costco account. The first time I got hit was also through my debit card They hit several gas stations. Nothing is safe.
    Government says they are fighting identity theft and credit fraud but I've been victim 3 times in six years
    So I say what are they really doing especially when when I already had alearts on everything.
    Ready to file BK just so nobody has any benefit from my info.

    Seriously? Debit cards immediately withdraw from your bank account, whether or not it was authorized or not. At least with credit cards, the charge is not always immediate, and it's a revolving balance that you can dispute a portion of. But having my rent/food/gas/etc money disappear and can't pay the bills would be a nightmare unless the bank could reimburse me within 24 hours or less of it happening.

    I never use a debit card online. You have so much more fraud protection with a credit card. I got a charge one time for an ipod on my credit card once and all I had to do was make a police report and forward it to the credit card company and they took care of it. On debit card in the event someone steals your pin you are totally !@#$% out of luck because if a pin is used there is ZERO fraud protection.

    Bank says somebody has my routing which can be seen on personal checks. The same one that gets used by apple, paypal and so on for direct deposit. Now that I think about it the last time I got hit was when I bought my iMac 2 weeks later 6 credit cards show up to my home 2 each, 1 with my name and 1 with some name that was not mine. Coincidence?!?!?!
    Maybe this is my sign not to by pro membership!

    LOL, thats kinda funny cause the ipod purchase from my card number being stolen was directly from apples online store. MAybe its a conspiracy from apple.
