So we’re parking off at home and wifey pipes up with a story. Apparently this chicky droped her kids off at daycare one day, then drove the family BMW to the airport, sold it for enough money to buy a plane ticket to USA, bought the ticket and left her family behind to go and be with her internet boyfriend! True story! So while we were grappling with how someone could do that, we checked our bank account online.
! hmmm around $300 is missing from our credit card. We were both like wtf? was it you? no… who was it? Puzzled we call the bank and find out the transaction was made that day and it’s has been processed but they are not sure who the vendor is. Weird.
How? Slowly a possibility rears it’s ugly head. Internet fraud? nah. Next day we go see the bank and find out that wifey’s card number was used. still don’t know the vendor. They say they’ll call us when they know. Credit Card is cut up immediately and cancelled.
Later that day wifey calls up, “DID YOU BUY A PLANE TICKET?” hehe flasheback to the conversation referenced earlier and I am like no way! and wifey is like, well the vendor is some airline! I google the airline and hit nothing. It’s a made up company! Somehow someone got the wifes cc number and made a $300 transaction to a fictitious company! More digging finds another transaction for $600 that was declined. It was tried the day after the successful $300 transaction. They tried to fleece us for $1000!.
So anyway, bank is investigating, police are in touch. Hopefully the bank will refund our cash soon. They have said they would. Really weird. I never thought it would happen to me. Let this be a warning kids! lol the thing is, we have no clue how the card number came out! We have always been really careful. I guess we will be carefuller.
