Someone got hold of my Amex number in the early summer and tried to buy a TV in a Radio Shack somewhere in California, and Amex caught it. They had already posted like a $2 charge to my account at 7-Eleven or somewhere, that Amex didn't catch right off the bat. I have to say they fixed the problem pretty quickly, and though it was a pain not have a card for a week while they sent me a new one, I appreciated not paying for someone else's TV.CathyCA wrote:I've spoken with AARP and they've already authorized a refund of the charges. The lady at AARP told me that the hackers had listed my birthday as 5/20/82, and that was the huge clue to the AARP that it was a fraudulent charge. Why would a 28 year old be joining AARP?devildeac wrote:Similar thing happened to our son this summer.

Fortunately, I caught the unauthorized charges.
Unfortunately, I've had to cancel my debit card and it will take a week for the new card to get here.
Seriously? AARP?
Tomorrow I get to contact Google, Microsoft and that store in Illinois.

My wife looks at both our credit card charges almost daily. Even I couldn't "get away" with anything.

I do too. My wife has no hope of hiding a big gift for me unless she takes out a huge wad of cash. Which I'd probably end up asking her about anyway.devildeac wrote: My wife looks at both our credit card charges almost daily. Even I couldn't "get away" with anything. Not that I'm trying either.

Every time you go to the grocery store and the key pad (formerly, the cashier) asks if you want cash back, you respond with "yes," and take out $25.00. The grocery bill doesn't look too terribly out of line, and you're putting away some cash for a rainy day.
It's problematic if hubby reviews the grocery receipts. Otherwise, no problem.

Re: LTE 2.0
DBR is nothing more than a Good Ole Boys forum............... Feel like I was stalked over there, and bashed by JE.
Anyday there is a scandal at Tarhole country.........the better. Waiting on more from Tutorgate. And speculations that might have happened in other Revenue sports at Unc also.
Tutors are great. I was a tutor in high school and college. But I never wrote someones paper. Mainly, I tutored Math. Most students just need a little one on one time. Or perhaps they just have a phobia about a subject. I took a D student in Algebra at mid semester, and then finished with a B. Basically, had to start the whole course over in tutor sessions. But they passed!!
Just wanting to vent a little, because I have read DBR for 10 years, and the forums.............and they have gone to Heck. I am having to get use to a new website and forum here. Thanks for letting us vent about the WANKERS over there.
