Today I got pulled over, and, when asked for my license, I reached in my wallet and handed him my debit card (true story).

Does this constitute as debit card fraud?

He should have taken it and used it to teach you a lesson.

In my defense Gareth, that bear is freaking awesome. He's wearing a little baseball jersey. Imagine, a bear playing baseball!

Totally worth it, agreed.

When I was in college I made my first and only purchase from Ebay. My debit card number was stolen by someone in Nigeria. I had about $2000 in my account and they spent over $3000. That $2000 was my entire net worth and I was sick to my stomach and didn't sleep at all until the bank opened the next day. Luckily it was a Visa debit card and they were really cool about the whole thing. The only inconvenience was waiting about a week for a brand new card with a new account number.

But you received your merchandise, right?

I'm still not sure how it happened. It was golf clubs from some dude in Texas. Got the golf clubs and everything, but I don't know if the card was stolen through Paypal or what.

Got a letter of delinquency from our POA. Called to let them know we paid months ago. They said they didn't receive payment. Got online and looked at the picture of the cashed check.

Mrs. AW put it in mailbox (Sunday) 12.18. Check was cashed at 8:14am (Monday) 12.19.

Someone added their name to the 'pay to the order of' line on the check behind the POA name. It's a person's name. Said person has a revoked business license in Arkansas and deposited the check to a banking account with their name on it.

Either the dumbest criminal in history or the smartest. Filed a police report and initiated a dispute with the bank. Guess we'll see what happens. People are ass holes.
