I hate being a victim
This past week has been like hell. First some back story, last Wednesday I went to get gas, unknowingly my debit card got cloned at that location. I wake up to a phone call on Saturday saying 400+ dollars was posted to my bank account and they were double checking if it was fraud or not. So I got my debit card closed and began the process of trying to get my money back.
Fast forward to today, I got my new card, and guess what? When I tried to activate it they said the card was already activated. GEE THANKS.
Called up to the fraud department again, got transferred over to card services. Got my brand new card canceled, since I won’t be very happy if my I lose my direct deposit paycheck tomorrow to some asshole who cloned my card again. I suspect this card got cloned though the stupid shitty RFID “speed pass” shit, basically its a “convenience” for people who don’t want to sign stuff for things under 25 dollars, swipe the card and you’re good to go! Yeah fuck that, so I asked to get a new card with out that. Turns out, due to my account being overdrawn the rep can’t send me a new card. So now fuck it I’m never going to use a debit card ever. I’m just going to live with a credit card, paypal, and direct transfers.

Holy crap, I didn’t think RFID was popular enough for people to already be swiping credit cards with it. I hope you get all that money back. :<

There’s slightly better fraud protection on credit cards then debit cards.
