Pick pocketed warning
Yesterday was like any other day for me, picking up wedding supplies, doing errands, answering phone calls, and one unexpected surprise, I was pick pocketed. That's right, someone nabbed my debit card.
As I was walking through the store, I didn't even notice anything until I got to the register, and couldn't find my card. My first instinct was to go back trace my steps and see if it fell out of my bag.
After not being able to find it, I went home, called to cancel the card, and looked at my online statement and saw that someone was trying to get gas on my card.
Luckily we were able to cancel the card before the transaction went through, but it was only 30 minutes since I had left the store. Who knows how much they could have racked up in my name if I had waited to see if anyone had returned it.
Your finances are important, if you have the ability to check on them online, make it a habit, once someone has the opportunity to drain your account or charge in your name, the temptation may be easier for some than doing the right thing.
