After going all weekend I look forward to the one day I have off before going back to my three nights of work. I enjoy the relaxing that I can do during that one day, and on Sunday night as well. However, this week did not work out that way!!! Went out for a favorite sushi dinner on Sunday evening with my best friend Alix and we had a great time, tried new rolls and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Until it was time to pay the bill... We go halvsies on it and both hand our cards to our server (who I know by the way) and shortly there after my card is returned without a receipt but with a funny look from our server, so I say "thanks" but unfortunately his response is "No bueno" My card didn't work?! Try it again, I say; already did 3 times he tells me, no bueno. Utter confusion comes over me and I quickly call my bank to find out what is going on... during the next 30 minutes I am informed that my account is SEVERELY overdrawn and there are charges pending that I did NOT make!! I call the freud department and am informed that my card number -- because I still have the actual card! -- has been used for freudulent activity and I am a victim of identity theft. Also, turns out my bank is not open 24/7 for customer service calls so I have to wait until Monday morning to deal with all this!
Monday, my day off, was spent on the phone with the bank (who was completely unhelpful), with the company my card had been attempted to be used at and the local police department filling charges. Whew! And to add insult to injury, it was a beautiful day outside, sun shining and 80 degrees here in NC, I should have been at the pool!!! (I did eventually make it to the pool for a few much needed relaxing hours!) What a frustrating day!!!
Today, things are looking up though... the charges against my account have been removed, so my account seems to be back to normal and sometime this week I should receive my new card and will be able to then get back to my "normal" life!
I really hope whoever caused this un-needed stress in my life does get caught and is sent to jail.

UGH!! People who do stuff like this SUCK! We had our bank account hacked into a few months back and they stole a couple thousand bucks, but I'm pretty sure that they were caught since they used our account info to PAY OFF THEIR CREDIT CARD! Haha! I mean, how stupid can you be!? Glad you got the situation sorted out and that your money is back where it is supposed to be. :)
