This past weekend I had a little bit of a financial crisis scenario.
I got an oddball email on Saturday saying there was a strange purchase made with my debit card.
I checked it out, someone had made three purchases in a town called Mount Vernon -- which I am not and was not in.
I called the bank. They shut off my card.
They said my card might have gotten "skimmed" or when I made a purchase online my info could have been stolen. I had recently bought a ticket to a hockey game online. But who knows...
The lady with the bank said I should:
1. Not buy anything online with my debit card
2. Not pay for gas with my debit card at the pump
Thoughts on this?
