People who fraud need JESUS!

Today I have spent most of it at banks and a police station, not at work. Last night I went online to pay some bills and noticed that our balance was way off. I looked at the history and Fri. it showed that we had been hit for a large amount in charges in California. We were at our bank, this morning when they opened and there was another couple there with the same problem and the same kind of charges, all again in California. We were told that we were the 4th hit in a week, same kind of charges, in California. Somehow some location locally that we are all using, probably Wal-Mart's debit machines are being hit. It's hard to say how...either someone hacked into them and sold the account numbers or it could be some employee selling account numbers. All kinds of scenarios. Someone made a card with our account number, put their name on it, and routed it to our checking account. We had to file a police report with the local PD and I'll pick up the report tomorrow and take it to the bank. The bank has to have a report in order for us to get our money back. All of our money was used this weekend and I'll have to sign papers on each of those transactions after they clear today, tomorrow as well. They were all on my debit card. Robert and I both cancelled our debit cards and opened an account with our savings bank. We're supposed to get all of our money back within a week. We are so thankful that we have money in our savings, even though our bank told us that we could still write check even though we are in the red. This is a very scary and very sad thing going on and it makes us so mad. We both had to miss a day of work because some jerk took advantage of us! I need to pray for the jerk, they need to be delievered.
