ChaoticAsphyxia was it u?
Cuddly Cactus
the bank called me on a fraud alert and I was about to be like bank pls have you not realized I'm in Ohio yet because I thought it was that I'd just joined a gym here
Cuddly Cactus
lol nope
ᴠᴏʟᴋᴀʀɪɴ
Have they said where the UK?
Cuddly Cactus
it was like an £800 and £250 charge to some company names I didn't recognize
ᴠᴏʟᴋᴀʀɪɴ
jfc

Did you use your credit card to get cash out anywhere?
Cuddly Cactus
no I don't remember. I was just like lol nope wasn't me and they said alright sure we cancelled those charges and your card you'll have a new one on Thursday
Cuddly Cactus
nope
ᴠᴏʟᴋᴀʀɪɴ
hmmmm :|a
Cuddly Cactus
I used it a few places though so I'm not really surprised.
ᴠᴏʟᴋᴀʀɪɴ
Unless there was somewhere that took your card off you and might have done a skim on it really sneaky before they gave it back?
Cuddly Cactus
maybe idk. i don't remember giving it to anyone but also that's common practice here so it wouldn't have stood out as off to me
Cuddly Cactus
since the card is cancelled I can't see any of the charges in the mobile banking app or I'd look
ᴠᴏʟᴋᴀʀɪɴ
i'm tempted to say it was likely down in London. credit card fraud/theft is a problem down there, especially with so many tourists.
Cuddly Cactus
yeah probably
Cuddly Cactus
hell it could have been a skimmer on an oyster card machine. we have that problem at gas stations all the time.
ᴠᴏʟᴋᴀʀɪɴ
I remember watching programmes as a kid about keeping your credit card safe and stuff and ways you could get scammed but they were always like focused towards London area?
ᴠᴏʟᴋᴀʀɪɴ
ohh, possibly!
Cuddly Cactus
I'm gonna see if the website provides any more info than the app
Cuddly Cactus
hmm they've switched all my info online over to the new card number so I have no statements lol

I like how they called you about the gym charge but not stuff in England.
Cuddly Cactus
oh see they were calling about the stuff in England it just happened to be right after I made that transaction at the gym lol
Cuddly Cactus
in other news apparently I had $250 in cash back sitting on this card
Cuddly Cactus
guess what's paying for these personal training sessions
ᴠᴏʟᴋᴀʀɪɴ
At least they caught it tho
Cuddly Cactus
yeah they've been really good actually
Cuddly Cactus
it was a little bit of a hassle when I was planning my trip to England but I'd rather them be aware then let me get scammed
ᴠᴏʟᴋᴀʀɪɴ
v. true
Cuddly Cactus
and I just stabbed myself in the finger at work. sigh.
ᴠᴏʟᴋᴀʀɪɴ
fffff don't do that
Cuddly Cactus
I slipped taking some hardware apart.
Cuddly Cactus
alright I gotta get on the phone for an hour and a half before I can go back to hardware assembly
ᴠᴏʟᴋᴀʀɪɴ
go fight win!
