10lbs lighter

**c5z28** · 11-30-2009, 06:58 PM

Went to have dinner tonight ordered my food etc. Went to pay with my debit card and the lady said the card wasn't valid, she even showed me the 4 bounced receipts. Well that was probably the most embarrassing moment of my evening. I decided to go to the bank (after hours) and got the same thing, to top it off the low gas light came on

. So I called the bank and talked to the clerk about my predicament-turns out my card number was involved in a group of others where the "security" was compromised

. So after I shit myself they said no "suspicious withdrawls" were monitored (I'll be the judge of that thanks buddy for the immediate heads up of my money). So upside is I still have my money but I have to wait for a new card. I can't handle this shit I'm going to get a drink-oh wait I can't

How did you pay for dinner? Put it on your credit card? BTW, this is why I keep $100 hidden with in my room some where.

I got a fraud alert phone call this past week after I hit up a post office, a barber shop, and two late night beer runs in three different respective cities.

they felt bad for me and let me go...
I don't carry a credit card because of all the shit that has been going on, my score is kept up via the car.

Well they see you had intetions to pay, are you a regular? If not, what else they going to do? Make you do dishes? They have to catch me first.

**86 IROC-Z** · 11-30-2009, 07:21 PM

You only carry one way to pay with you?

**c5z28** · 11-30-2009, 07:26 PM

Cash and debit, not enough cover the food obviously, they will be compensated. Right now I 'm a little upset on how weak this orange cello is I found-excuse me.

**Spikito** · 11-30-2009, 08:28 PM

**SeVeReDiStOrTiOn** · 11-30-2009, 08:49 PM

I had something like that happen around the holidays couple years ago...locked my debit card because "there was suspicious spending" on it. Umm yea it's fuckin christmas and i'm buying stuff...sweet baby jesus.

**Spikito** · 11-30-2009, 08:58 PM

the day i picked up my hawk I had a friend drive me up to get it. I told him I would take care of tolls and gas. I gave him cash for his tolls but the gas is when things got interesting.

We roll into the gas station, my car spotless since it had just come out of the garage it had been in for three years. Couple of people look at it one asks some questions. Nice stang at one of the other pumps... ok np. lets get gas. I go in the station to pay for my fuel and put it on my credit card. then my friend, who had gone to use the restroom comes out and is ready to pump his gas. So I go back into the station and try to buy more gas.... can you see where this is going? Well stick with me it gets better. I pay for like 20 dollars of 87 octane. He goes to pump and notices it won't let him use premium. He comes back to complain to me that his 4cyl Altima needs premium..... We cancel the transaction and the attendant tries to do it again this time with premium....

This is when the red flag raises and my card is declined. I ended up paying cash and talking on the phone with the card company while he pumped. They cleared it up right over the phone. Turns out there was a charge from like Georgia or something which I remembered later was an internet purchase the night before. The distance between Georgia and Connecticut and the fact I was trying to buy gas three times in a row (as far as they could see) is why the blocked the card. Glad they monitor but it made for one ticked off attendant lololol

Wife and I never carry cash. We carry Debit Mastercard, and a City Master, but the day I pay a percentage rate on cheap ass food is the day the card gets cut up. You would'nt take a loan out for shoe laces right, so why would someone take a loan out for fast food? (more of a statment than a question) I would have told them keep their food and drove away.. Reason we never carry cash is if you lose cash it's GONE. I lose one of my cards I make a phone call and get a new one. No money gone from anywhere.. Just my .02 Good that the bank was looking out for it's customers though. Even if it was a hang up for a little while. Could have been much worse..

I am the same way, sorta. I don't cary cash for the same reasons. But I put just about any electronic purchase on my credit card for the extended warranty. But usually pay it all off this month or atleast all of it next month.

Im all cash all the time, i have more of a feeling of what i have and not have...

My dads card was on hold also about 3 days ago(i guess the credit card copmpanys are finally doing their jobs)

**86 IROC-Z** · 12-01-2009, 09:04 AM

You don't have a debit card but you have a checking account? That's weird...I thought they give you one automatically.

**Zapper2003** · 12-02-2009, 12:48 PM

Nope. ATM access only.

**Zapper2003** · 12-02-2009, 12:49 PM
