    Wimps. LOL ;D

    My ex-wife ran up about $20 grand in charges on my credit cards without my knowledge and credit card companies don't allow you to write those off when it's your spouse doing it. I had to pay for them. A week after I got divorced, I broke my whole body and was in the hospital. In one month where I wasn't able to even sit up (back brace) she ran up another $6~$7 grand and the only way I could not pay those charges would be to send her to prison so I had to pay those charges off too.

    I've had this happen to me before. I have a Citi credit card and they have always been very helpful and promptly refunded my money. Sounds like it should be taken care of.

    I have been getting a lot of emails from people claiming to be chase and other credit card companies. Since I know I don't have a card with any of those companies and my only card does not have my email attached to it I know they are fake. You can also put ur cursor over the link and it will show you the actual address it will take you to. You will notice that they are never actual CC websites.

    you know, weird thing i never got anything from my bank. And i realized today that someone used it because i noticed that i only had $46 left and i knew that earlier on in the week i had close to $200 available. Didint click on any links i saw the company name on my credit card, knew i didnt do it so thats when i knew something was up

    i normally dont check my bank account, but good thing i am going to buy corals today at the lfs, i went to see how much money i had on my debit card knowing that my credit card is high and that i cant use it, soooo glad i caught it
