I recently lost my debit/credit card. I was coming out of a convience store and apparently dropped it. Whomever was behind me must have picked it up immediately. I am 61 years old with a small income (I work 40 hours a week as a custodian) this is all I have. I thought I had it in my jacket pocket...when i went to look for it that's when I discovered it was gone. This was some 9 hours later and the weekend. After reporting the card to the bank...I went on-line discovered the card had been used already...$100 was gone from my account. Unfortunetly for me it was the beginning of the month and I had paid my bills...my account no. had to be changed and all my creditors had to be notified. It was really scary when the bank informed me it my take 2-3 weeks before I would be refunded and more charges were coming in....I am still recovering...I prayed that this person choked on the dinner they had curtesy of my me...just to let them know I also had to ask my daughter for help in getting the medicine I needed!! If my some chance they read this...I hope they feel real good. I doubt that...hope they get caught at this and spend many years in jail!!! Just read your letter…I can sympathize with you.

I lost nearly $10,000 from my account. It took me days before finding out that my account was being used by some fraud, my bank has not returned the money or by any chance for it to happen. I am simple person, my paycheck that goes directly to my checking account every week stays in my account. I am not a spender, so I have enough money from my checking account that has been drained by some fraud. It is hardship for me until now, I want to save money that I don't spend unless it's for important things such as paying bills, and food. I don't even have a car so I don't need to spend for gas. I always walk going to work, and walk going back home. It feels terrible having all your hardship and sacrifices be drained by others. I never even have a credit card so I don't have anything to pay for any purchases. I use debit card all the time, since you are spending your own money and by not owing anyone. This has caused nightmares. I know I am not going to have my money back. I just want to think and believe that the person who took my life away, that person could need the money more than I do. I know it is wrong to think that way, but somehow it's just what I want to believe so at some point, it won't hurt that much anymore. I know by not going to the police, or filing a complain won't do any good. I guess somehow I believe that even I do, I won't get my money back. They won't catch the person who stole my money. I have learned my lesson. I closed my account, and paid for the overdrawn $4000, money I have never gotten to use. My own money. To whoever did this to me, I pray for your soul. I just hope that you will never do this again to others. Not everyone could be strong as me, pls do not hurt anymore. It is wrong.

Someone tried to rack up $700 worth of groceries, but gave up when asked for the signature. So my card was never charged the $700, but the police were called. Do you think they'll persue it? I just wonder because this must happen almost every minute of every day, is there any way they could catch all of these jerks? Even the ones that don't go through with it? I also work at a theatre where someone has rung up obscene amounts on gift cards and then tried to refund them for cash. It's our policy to only refund it back to the card originally used, so they never get the cash from us, but should I report it to the police? Or will they just see it as a waste of their time? I don't have the person's name or anything. I don't even have the whole card number. But we would have a security video of the person who came to refund them.... I just hate the idea of these people getting away with it 'cause their plans were foiled. They intended to do it. I’m wondering…I had my debit card stolen a few days ago.

I just had my debit card (not stolen) but someone found it after i lost my wallet and used it. They only took 250 something. I was more bumbed than mad. Had a really crappy week and this just added to it. Did you find the person who did it? I just had my debit card (not stolen) but someone found it after i lost my wallet and used it.

I live in London) within 4 minutes of stealing it from me.. FOUR F*CKING MINUTES.. not bad.. Luckily I cancelled the card - I don't even want to know how much they'd be able to steal had I not cancelled it within 4 minutes! I'm sooooo mad!
