Argh. Someone from Jeddah in Saudi Arabia stole my check card number and drained my bank account. Luckily I was able to spot it right away and reported it to my bank. My money will be returned to me. And the 9, yes 9, over limit charges will be reversed. Apparently, this person kept trying to charge my debit card. And each time he did, I got an over limit charge because I had a negative balance.

I’ve got to give a shout out to my bank, AmTrust Bank. They have been very helpful. Their 24 hour LIVE PERSON customer support was a godsend last night as I frantically tried to figure out what happened. I’m certain that I would not of gotten any sleep if they didn’t have that 24 hour coverage.

Also, their branch staff on Sawmill Road was more than helpful. Finally, I got a call today from AmTrust’s headquarters about the fraudulent charges. And he didn’t even know that I had already went to the branch to report the problem. He was just doing his job in alerting customers of potential fraud.

So here’s the moral. Make sure you check your statement for fishy charges. There are some nasty people out there.
