So I came up to my mom's to check a few things on the internet since we haven't got internet hooked up at our house yet. I checked my bank account number to make sure that the money we were waiting on was available so that we could go buy furniture tonight. When I got on my account, I notice that all the money that was in our account had drastically diminished. I checked the transactions and found that someone had gotten hold of my debit card number and had a field day at a few casinos in Mississippi. I've never even been to Mississippi! There were four transactions on my account totalling $7460. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I called the bank right away and told them what was going on. I just got back from the bank where I had to fill out a few forms to get the money back.
What upsets me about this is that I feel completely violated. I'm most upset because the person who did this went to the casino and blew all our hard-earned money!! How inconsiderate is that?! It makes me sick.

I'm SO sorry that happended to you! i had the SAME thing happen to me a few years ago...only it was a direct transfer from my account to another. They drained one of my savings accounts and my checking accoun. It sure breaks a lot of barriers of trust!! I hope the bank refunded all your money right now...I was lucky I caught it the very next day. I got my money back in about 3 days & the bank "took care of it from there". I'm sure the bank already told you this- but make sure you file a police report...I also called and put alerts on my credit, just in case.
Oh my! I'm sorry this happened to you! I've never been victim to identity theft or anything, but my Uncle Scott was a few years ago... how did they get his info? From mail in his mailbox! He now uses a P.O. Box and is probably always going to be paranoid of this happening to him again. I'll be praying for you guys!
