Well that's one way to stop shopping

Chase detected a fraud on my debit card and cancelled it. It will take 7-10 days to get a new one. Luckily I have a separate debit card with a credit union, so at least I won't starve and be able pay for my hair appointment tonight.

That happened to me with my credit card 5 days before we went to Croatia! Yikes! Luckily DH had his card.

Well you'll be saving this week!

UGH -- so awful!!! I am sorry. This has happened to me, too. At least they caught it before a lot of damage was done.

Oh, no! I hate when that happens! Hugs to you, Anna!

I had my go-to credit card compromised just two days before i moved back in April! It seems like the thieves always hit when we are least prepared to deal with it!

Ugh I had that last year but the person tried to online gamble with my card and put his name and address in for his winnings! LOL

A sign from above.

But no, I feel your pain. I left my debit card in the ATM. It was a nightmare trying to get to the bank before they closed at 5 pm., when I get off at 6!

Poop! On the bright side, at least the fraud was detected.

And I've had that happen twice now.

O.M.G.!!!! So glad you caught it before any damage done. WTF is wrong with people, trying to cash in on other's good names?:(

Sorry for your aggravation. That is such a pain. Sometimes these cancellations seem to be part of a bigger event and sometimes individual incidents. We did have a situation where it appears a store clerk was able to copy our debit card during a transaction and within 2 hours, someone attempted to use it for a four figure purchase across the country in the same store chain. The bank caught it (as DH could not have traveled 3,000 miles in an hour) and issued a new card.

Our local law enforcement emphasized how they avoided debit cards in retail and online transactions as they are easily compromised and allow for direct account access, as opposed to credit cards. I have reduced my use of them after this event, but one needs access to cash even if other cards are used for retail commerce.

Good luck and glad you have an alternative way to proceed.

Well it just got worse. I got my new debit card and tried to activate. Talked to one Chase employee who transferred me to another higher up. I have to go to a branch in person with two forms of id. They won't tell what's happening because they can't verify my identity on the phone. I really, really hope it's not a case of identity theft because I'm ****ed.
I'm going to try and leave work early tomorrow to see if I can make it to the bank.
