Debit card was hacked
I was checking my bank account the other day and found a transaction for -$3.00 to this organization:
07/05/2021 ALL FOR ARMENIA HTTPSALLFORAR -3.00
I did not use my debit card to give this place $3.00.
Seems my debit card was used to do this.
Oddly, I rarely use my debit card, only on rare occasions.
Although it seems like a small amount of money to be unaccounted for, this is how it begins.
I contacted my credit union where the account is located and they shut it down at once and mailed me a new debit card via Federal Express.
Beware everyone!
The thieves are out with long knives as the old saying goes!

I need it to withdraw cash from an ATM if I need some.
That is the only time I use it in fact which is once every month or two, so not often.
Beware folks and check your accounts (TODAY IF YOU CAN!).
Take care everyone!
As I have stated, I only use it to withdraw cash when I need some which is every month or two.
It was a hack and I caught it luckily.
I am astute about checking my accounts. I maintain a physical hand-written ledger still.
I'm glad I still do things the old fashioned way!
This could have mushroomed into one huge nightmare.
I am still checking ALL accounts that I have which include a few credit cards as well!
Better safe than sorry!
They are hoping you won't notice it and that you'll just let it go or not notice it.
Then the fun begins!
The next thing you know other things begin to show up, often in the thousands of dollars.
It becomes a huge nightmare.
Anyway, no more problems for me being I caught it straight off and closed that card out.
Despicable people! Despicable!
