I was so excited to put in the good work today! Unfortunately, after my great (and productive) question and answer time with a long-time and knowledgeable affiliate here this morning...I received another NFS notification from my main bank account.
Someone has been making fraudulent extractions from my savings account! The tune of 175.00 bucks...that may be small for some. To me however, this is a huge hit.
After cleaning up my credit, so much so, that even AM EX is offering me credit...this was beyond terrifying! I say "was" because I took calm, decisive action to rectify the situation.
Being my ADD self I tend to blame myself first when it comes to anything involving numbers or anything of importance for that manner. I get confused and scattered easily.

I first saw a suspicious charge in February. I assumed it was something with my PayPal account because that was what was registering in my Savings Account. I might add, my savings account, which abso-freakin'-lutely no one is authorized to withdraw from.
PayPal, upon my first customer service call, said that no such account was registered with them. After ringing my bank, who immediately made inquiries after my call, Paypal (the second call to them today) amazingly found that yes, indeed, someone, with my same name, had registered an account with my bank savings info. and a different 619 number.
It's all being investigated and squared now.
I would say that I "wasted" all my day dealing with this but, the people and the situations I come across are just testaments to why I do what I do. I help people. People help me! I never go into a store or on a highway in a hurry. I don't wish to to be aggravated by the little stuff.
Yes, I know...my bank account is not "little stuff". I'm just that weird person that wishes that hacker is an 11 yo. that learns what not to do again. I'm not being naive, I'm being hopeful.
Terrifying, to be sure, When you live week or, daily/week by week like most do. We are all connected though...and what goes around comes around. I don't care what your religion or beliefs. Integrity is integrity. Respect begets respect.
