I got Cyber Robbed!!!!!! (posted in R&R)

I put this over on the R&R board - but figured I should share with my peeps too:

Freaking fraggle nackle cyber PUNKS got me yall!!!!

I have an Amex card - keep it for misc bull**** purchases - I keep my recurring billing bull**** on there JUST in case some cyber a-hole starts static on my **** - I am not out REAL money......

I am the anal type that checks ALL my account balances EVERY morning (I access and read through them *****es like reading the paper in the morning - more depressing tho - just accessing to see 'you still owe' - 'naw it ain't paid off yet *****' - 'yep yo ass should NOT have spent this' and so on.....)

I go on this morning and see I am $200 OVER the limit!  HUH???  WHAT????  AWWW HELL TO THE NAWWW BOBBY!!!!!

  To the batcave Robin!!!  It's time to get on the line and send the signal!!!!  

I call in - get Geebs, the Indian mofo with an attitude (yep - THAT was stereotypcial like a mofo and I don't give a hot ****!!!!)  this mofo asks me did I buy some **** at some online site names he rattles off.....
Arvixe?  No.
Avanagate? No.
Yahoo voice? No.

I am a to the PENNY type mofo!  I tole homie ain't NO WAY I am over my limit behind buyin shiot!  the LAST transaction *I* did was my Proactiv!!!! (love that **** by the way - it is the BEST!!!)  Anything after that is fragglenackle BULLCONE!!!!!! (I didn't wanna cuss at the Indian dude - they get REAL testy with a few damns and *****)

THIS mofo seems to think *I* am a friggin idiot by telling ME that someone must have gotten hold of my card #....... Gee, Geebs - YA THINK??????  Cancel the damn card, dumbass!!!!  Kill the transactions!!!!!  He proceeds to read from the 'script'...........

At this point - I figure as long as the card is shut down, I can move on with disputing everything later - i had to let homie go...... 

BUT THIS IS SOME BULL****!!!!  I have NEVER been cyberpunked before!!!!  WTF???  The only FUNNY ass thing about it is whoever it was ain't get much - I keep a balance so high you do good to put a pack of GUM on my ****!!!!   It was $200 over the limit - but I only had $56 available to START with!!!!!!

Damn criminals need to screen credit scores before they do that **** to leave BROKE MOFOS alone.......

I feel ya #1 MM because I always said if someone tried to rob me either in person on in cyberspace they would leave a message saying, "Next time have something!!!!!!" lol  I'm glad you caught it because some people don't check their stuff closely and don't realize they were robbed until weeks later. It pays to be ocd about some things.

thanks for the heads up. i buy crap online all the time and lucky so far i havent had anything bad happen...but i was thinking of getting one of those prepaid debit cards for online purchases...just incase you know

Definitely NEVER use your debit card.  I think I know where my info got leaked - I made a purchase 'off the beaten path' - more than likely where the **** went bad.

I keep those buys on a credit card so that IF it is impacted - it ain't my REAL money that's in limbo while **** gets sorted out.  So - that prepaid debit card is a good idea too.  

Hell no that is some BS I don't know if I would have been more pissed at getting jacked on line or having to an 800#.  Lease you on top of it though.


 

I am still trying to figure out how my info got "jacked" a few months ago.

I am like you, I check my credit union & bank account daily. (once I went to WAMU and told them my statement was off my $.25, the girl looked at me like I was crazy, I said I want my quarter please and they put it in my account)

anyways..I keep all receipts and compare to my debit transactions monthly. I pay off my credit cards every month so one month when there should have been no balance (I check just for GP) I see a $296.00 charge made at Diva 21. I'm like what the hell is Diva 21. I put in a dispute on line and report the card stolen. I check my wallet and the card is there. I'm confused. 2 days later I am checking my credit union account and I see a similar purchase for around the same amount, check my wallet, card still there, so I call the credit union report it. I file a police report becuase I dont want no **** down the line and I will prosecute if I find out who is was (friend or foe).

A few days later I see a news report where over 16 people have had accts where illegal purchase where made at Diva 21 a now defunct company at Katy Mills Mall. I have never been in there or seen the company so Ia m still wondering how my stuff got comprimised.

I now have alerts on all of my card to notify me when purchases of $100 or more are made to my acct. I had to also put a fraud alert on my credit report.

It is such a pain when your **** is compromised.
