Has it ever happened to you?
It seems that quite a lot of people have been taken for money...stolen credit cards..internet scams...identity theft.

I've had an atm/debit card for 22 years and never had a problem. Then the first time I lost it..dropped it..left it somewhere..whatever I did, someone had fun buying lots of gas for all of his friends.

Anyway...10 days I'll have my money back. I couldnt replace my debit card yet because they can't give me a new one until I have a positive balance in my account and I only brought a couple hundred with me today. I'll go back in the morning, deposit more, then get my new card.
I'm annoyed with having to change all of my direct debits attached to my card, but otherwise,,, the bank people have been extremely helpful.

So...since this happened, people at work and other friends have told me of their experiences or experiences their friends have had.
Got anything similar?
Lost my card and someone had fun with it.
Someone stole my credit card from me and went shopping
I used my credit info online and it was stolen
The guy at the gas station/store used my card number and bought lottery tickets
Thank God I've never had to deal with it.
I have another experience..you're not gonna believe this...!!!

 One of the guys I work with had his bank account hit for over $5,000. He had used his debit card to buy gas and there was a camera mounted behind him in the convenience store. The camera captured him entering his pin number and the clerk got the account info of the receipt and had a blast on his spending spree.

 I lost my wallet with my debit card and all sorts of other important stuff in it. A kind gentleman found it and returned it to my home with everything, even the money in it! And nothing odd happened to my account!
