  • Ever have one of those days??

    Day started off not so OK. First of month is always very busy, this month includes quarter end. I run a mailsort machine. So here I have 80K of mail and some of it has the wrong date. Easy fix right, usually. The endoser printer decides not to work.
    Call service, they come out and fix it. The wife calls. We work at the same place, different buildings. She recieved a inter-office letter from bankcard stating there has been suspisious activity on our account.
    At first I was not worried, when she said Visa, I thought it was the credit card and we purchased the computer on it. It was a lot higher than we normally charge. Told her not to worry.
    So... a little later she clarifies it.
    Somebody in Florida has accessed our checking account!!!! The bank noticed it and flagged the account.
    Somehow these people got her debit card # and PIN. How? good question. They went to 2 Walmarts and a gas station before they were caught and we were dinged for almost 500 bucks. The bank is gonna reimburse us but it just tickes you off!!! How was your day?!

    That doesn't sound good! Seems no matter how careful you are with your Credit Cards there is always a possibility of the number in the wrong hands. The good thing is the bank will notice activity that isn't "normal" for you. I also had my credit card company give me a call when I bought a computer since it was a higher than normal charge, very nice of them.

      Need to get the atlas out. The debits were at 3 cities in Florida. I bet a dollar it a straight line. The last purchase was at a gas station. Working for a bank has its rewards. I know a lady in accounts . She looked up the last several weeks. Nothing weird
      until late last week. If they needed money why did they not just call me?? I would have taken them grocery shopping.

        I did not have a very enjoyable last few days myself either. Consider yours minor compared to mine. My girlfriend had our baby 5 weeks ago and on friday he passed away. Autopsy on Friday evening confirmed SIDS. I have seen this many times in my job and its a horrible sight, but now I know what the parents feel like when my partner and myself arrive on scene. Now its time to treat the parents.
        You put your baby to bed on Thursday night, and hes your alarm clock at 2a for his bottle. you do not hear him at 2a and think hes okay and will wake up at 230a or 300a. NOTHING. You get up at 400a to get ready for work and go check on him and you find no movement, no chest rise, and no pulse, but a little blood at the corner of his mouth. So you call 911 and the dispatcher sees all your info come up on the screen and you explain to them whats the situation is, she is crying on the phone because she has known me for years. She sends police, and ambulance out. Here comes all my friends who I work with daily. Horrible day
