Went to the post office yesterday to ship something and I needed some cash so I WAS gana use my debit card to get some $$ back. well it was declined...which I thought was pritty strange cause I still had a decent amount of $$ in there and a fricken $45 charge would easly go threw...so I had to use another card. no biggy.

Then I get home soon after that and with in a short time the phone was ringing. answer it and Bank1 was on the line wanting to make sure some charges were mine. well there were NOT ofcourse. there were a total of 4 charges at some Online gambling joint. 2 for $1000 and 2 more for $500..well that would pritty much empty the account so it makes sence my transaction was declined at the post office. so Now I have to wait till friday to dispute the charges cause they havent Posted yet they are just in limbo.

I dont use the card all that much. I used it to pay for school and an order at axiontech.com the otherday when I ordered the 8khm Mboard but nothing else reciently...maby books at school. Good thing I have a second checking account I keep a few bills in incase I need $$ for some reason...well..I found a reason. Jack ass thiefs. I hope he /she was an IDIOT and left a nice trail of bread crumbs for the bank/visa to follow.

I don't like debit cards for security reasons. I use a credit card for online purchases and then just pay it off in full at the end of the month.

honstly thats what I normally do also or pay with paypal but that card was the closest so I used it. I dont know if they got the ## from the net but what ever.

Hey, I woulda gave the money back had I hit it big.... Unfortunetly my debit card ## got stolen also like a week before this happened to greg(well, I noticed it a week b4 this happened to greg). So I had to cancel mine too and dispute the charges... mine was only $150 in charges tho... not 3g's.... I'm not daddy warbucks like greg over there.

That would bite the big one im glad im not old enough to have a checking account yet cause im careless and that same shyte would problly happen to me too.... sorry bout your luck man.... they'll catch him/her hopefully/.../

They didn't... its a check card... that can be used as a VISA also. They stole the number and used it online as a credit card.

Joe... sorry bruh... next time I'll spot ya a G to have a lil fun wit.

ahh...so is it different from interact?

Ya. Down States wise they often tie debit cards with Master Cards. You use it like a credit card, not like our Interac (which I couldn't live without).
