I have a separate account for my internet stuff. I keep a small amount in it until I see something I want & add $ before I buy.
My main man in Budapest repaid me for gun parts I sent & I deposited that yesterday. This morning I meant to check my balance to order another model kit... ATM denied me access & said my account was frozen.
I don't use it much & called in. Seems a random number generator hit my account and "pinged" it for a small amount which is what scammers & thieves do to see if safeguards are in place. That got bounced, but then they tried to withdraw $500 - then $300 - then $100 which all got bounced from the frozen account.
Long story short, I went down & got a different card. Didn't lose a penny to the thieves.
Seems a lot of this crap originates in Nigeria... if you can possibly believe that. Thieving bastards!
I know the cure! Turn that country into a glow-in-the dark parking lot!
Okay... rant off. SW
