Someone stole $800 from my checking account

Sweden, I was in such a huff last night I was not sure of the correct spelling sorry.

I hope it will not take long to get all of my money returned to me.

I'm so sorry that that has happened to you. I hope that they can recoup the cash quickly for you too.

A word of warning for everyone who uses credit or debit cards. If you're in a store, make sure to shield your card from other's eyes when using them, including shielding the pin number as you put it into the machines. You should also report this to the police and at the very least get a police report out of it.

If you're using the cards online, make sure to always use reputable sites, never go to sites and use your card if you are not positive that that site is safe and reputable..

this is a good practice to do. con artists are especially more prevalent in the holiday months and they go around and take peoples numbers...
BUT if you are making a purchase on line DO NOT use your atm debit card. i say this because it is not uncommon to have your debit card number taken and then you have your money taken out of you. the money most of us need to feed our families and pay our bills.

a credit card is easier as most items are covered when it is obvious fraud. and this is not something that you depend on. (for the most part)

and i can not say this enough DO NOT VERBALLY GIVE YOUR INFORMATION TO MAIL ORDER COMPANIES OVER THE PHONE. most of these mail order places employ less than desirable people or are prisoners making a little extra cash.
