Would the real Brad please stand up?
"Expect the unexpected." That's the motto for one of those reality shows where folks lie, cheat, steal, and backstab their way into the finale and cash grand prize. I never expected to find out today that someone had stolen my identity and accessed my check card and essentially wiped clean my checking account. The thiefs were kind enough to leave me just enough money to pay rent which is due on the 1st but I don't want to attribute that to their kindness. More so my ability to put a block and cancellation on my check card before even more damage could be done.
All in all, the thiefs made off with a SUBSTANTIAL amount of money in purchases. Some of the Christmas in February items they made off with:
1. An incredibly overdue bill to a cell phone carrier or perhaps a entire new line of phones and accessories.
2. A train ticket to DC.
3. A shopping spree to some store which apparently sells breast and butt enhancers. I could have really used those! Dang!
4. What I'm assuming could only be 3-4 new appliances purchased from a home improvement store. I'm envisioning a new stainless steal fridge, maybe a new washer and dryer and if they budgeted just right, maybe a new stainless steal microwave too. How lovely.
I don't check my check card balance religiously because I do a great job of keeping track of my weekly budgets to ensure I don't overspend. Obviously I now need to be checking my account more often. The first purchase was made on the 18th but didn't clear with the bank until the 22nd. The most recent purchase was made on Monday. So these wonderful identity thiefs have been celebrating their lottery winnings, courtesy of my personal account foundation, for almost a week.
Well thiefs, the party is over. You have nearly wiped clean my checking account but I have a feeling you made some stupid purchases with my money. The cell phone compnay most likely can track what cell number you paid for, the home improvement store can track what address you had all your new appliances shipped to and quite frankly, I hope you get prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. You don't go out and steal someone's identity and hard earned money. That ain't cute. And believe me, I hope you get what's coming to you.
