That's such a frustrating thing. Ya know, I can't even count how many times I've heard of people, personally and professionally through my job, having had money stolen from them that bank. My parents included. I used to use that bank, and I think certainly, they are a good company to use, especially if you do financing through them, more than just a bank account. But it seems to me that there may be some kind of an issue with their fraud security. I don't know. I'm sure it happens with a ton of banks all the time. It's one of those inevitible evils of technology. It's too bad, since technology makes life so much easier in most cases, but then in the situations like this, seems to cause more frustration. I hope you guys are able to recover your money quickly, and I think that it was very smart of you to report it so quickly. A lot of people don't even realize it until they get a bank statement and they are over drawn. <BR/>Anyway, other than that, hope all is well. Hannah is adorable in that video! <BR/>Love ya,<BR/>StacyMarc and Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04403171856324505424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27560334.post-71660739345752957492007-05-26T15:54:00.000-06:002007-05-26T15:54:00.000-06:00It also happened to us about 7 years ago.

I wonder if the banks try to investigate or if they just eat the costs-- which means the consumer usually ends up eating the costs, too. Darn dishonest people.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17129799528347927854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27560334.post-49532162257440105492007-05-25T15:29:00.000-06:002007-05-25T15:29:00.000-06:00It sounds like no one is immune to identity fraud ...It sounds like no one is immune to identity fraud and theft. We, too, have been victims several times- once with a debit card, a few stolen wallets, an ipod, and a car stereo system in our almost 11 years of marriage. It's really sad how dishonest many people are. I somtimes wonder how safe it is to give our cards to waiters/waitresses and cashiers. It would be so easy to write down the numbers when we're not looking. Can we offer to swipe our own cards at restaurants? Good luck! I bet your money will be returned by the bank.Holliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07490650351284780314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27560334.post-13288837532348260382007-05-25T15:13:00.000-06:002007-05-25T15:13:00.000-06:00Oh, I am so sorry!

Dad and I had our identity stolen at the same time that we refinanced the house, and someone was opening credit card accounts all over the place. We wouldn't have know except for the fact that we were contacted by one of them because of a difference in addresses. Keep after the bank - it is not as important to them as it is to you, so call them everyday if you have to. If we can help in anyway, just let us know........looking so forward to Hannah's video......I just can't get enough of her!!!!

I had this happen to me once and someone had shopped off my atm card and spent over $2000 at Macy's, $100 @ a floral shop and something else. They had my credit card# and yet, I had the original card in my wallet. The bank was so determined that it was me spending my $$$ and then did an investigation. It turned out that the shopping was done during a weekday while I was at work in a city that was on the other side of town. Being that the person was signing my name wrong kind of helped the bank process my case a little quicker. It turned out good at the end but having to find all that out and dealing w/it is a pain and I was too very angry. I still don't know how they got my card# because I shred everything and I had the original bank card. Take care and I look forward to seeing Hannah's video.<BR/>- Teresa & MadisonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27560334.post-45577578458622421682007-05-25T12:06:00.000-06:002007-05-25T12:06:00.000-06:00Me again, I didn't mean credit card debt, I meant ...Me again, I didn't mean credit card debt, I meant to type "credit card fraud" but I'm sure you know what I meant.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27560334.post-15681979745382869352007-05-25T12:04:00.000-06:002007-05-25T12:04:00.000-06:00Hey guys, hopefully Wells Fargo will not charge yo...Hey guys, hopefully Wells Fargo will not charge you for any of these items. I'm glad you looked this up while the items were still pending and not two months from now. It may make it simpler to clean it up. We also had credit card debt with our Amex but they were on the ball and called us and asked us if we charged a cruise on Norwegian Cruise ships for 1300 bucks. We said no, of course, and they took care of it immediately and actually caught the guy. (He had been using other's accounts also.) I hope it turns out to be nothing more than an inconvenience.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
