Fabulous day.

I get a call marked Fraud Services, they leave a message with my name, bank and last 4 digits of my debit card, saying they want to discuss possible fraudulent activity on my debit card.

Now be advised I get 10 - 15 calls a week from scammers and have engaged them to tell them to suck a fucking bag. And some asked for CC #'s.

So I call the number in the message and the 1st words out of her mouth are 'give me the 16 digits of your card number'. Not 'hello, how are you, what's happening?' Just 'give me the 16 digits of your card number.'

So I tell her to get fucked, I'm not giving you that and she starts bitching about profanity and hangs up.

Now usually with real scammers, they start saying fuck you too when they figure out they aren't scoring on the call.

So I think to myself, 'self, you should probably check your account on line'.

And at 1st glance account balance, it looks kinda close so I figure it's all bullshit. Then I Google the message number and it appears legit.

So I go back into my account and now see literally dosens of hits and rejections on my bank account. And I see 12 different hits for Netflix.com, five for $10.34, two for $8.99 and 5 more for $0.00. And dozens of declined hits for $0.00.

So I call the number back and I'm nice this time. I get a guy who doesn't know I called earlier and tell him about the message and how I see fraud on my online bank account with a bunch of Netflix.com preauths. (I paid for netflix twice like that over a year ago before Comcast made a deal with Netflix and it's been charged through Comcast ever since.)

So the guy says we have to go over every attempted charge for the report. Charges from Canada, California, Hong Kong, Florida, a couple countries I never heard of, etc.

As high as $763 down to $1.13. They were all declined except for the preauths from Netflix. They guy shut down the card and said go to the bank Monday morning.

Then I call Netflix. The guy there says there are 7 new Netflix accounts associated with my card number and that he was shutting them down and sending a refund to the bank, but that I have to go to the bank Monday morning to tell them to accept the refunds through a cancelled card. I asked if those fuckers could still watch Netflix and he said no, not until they scam somebody else as my card number is now 'blackballed' by Netflix along with being cancelled.

So hopefully I get my $70 back from Netflix soon. I also moved everything that's left into my savings account except for $11 just in case.

The modern day criminal element sucks.

I still remember watching an episode of Hawaii 5-0 when I was in high school like 40 something years ago of some guy moving money from other people's bank accounts on an old car phone the size of a brick but McGarret and Dano had him in jail at the end of the show.

I remember thinking that could never happen.

Welcome to the fucked up future I guess.

Bastards!

(And the good guys shouldn't ask for your card number before anything else either. WTF? That's the 1st thing the banks tell you, don't give out your card number to someone you're not 100% sure about.)

This totally sucks.

Did close to a 60 hour week, I'm fucking beat and my legs are killing me. Nothing like easing back into work life. :roll: The guy training me said he was doing 32 units in a 40 hour week and he was one of the better guys there. I'm pretty sure I could do 40, without breaking a sweat, if we didn't have to search for parts in unlabeled boxes on pallets. On the bright side I'm training with 2 Hispanic hotties who paint their clothes on. Being new there, I'm trying to be good and concentrate on the job, but I think the younger, by almost half my age, Dominican woman is into me. Almost immediately she was tucked up tight to me, almost getting under my arm, whenever we're learning new procedures. I initially thought she was just the type of person who didn't respect personal space, but I've noticed she's not anywhere near that close with anyone else. The funny thing is my buddy that got me in this place asked her out a few weeks before I started and got shut down. She told him she had a boyfriend, then he found out through another person there she doesn't.. Lol.
