I am SO Lucky...

Maybe after reading this next story you will believe me when I say if it's going to happen to anyone, it'll happen to me!

I'm checking my bank account online this morning and to my amazement we were $1100 IN THE NEGATIVE! What the heck...I'm starting to do the live chat to find out what is happening when Pam-BFF at work-hears my phone ringing and brings it to me. I miss the call and have a message to call the credit union regarding some transactions. I call...they ask if I'm in Spain...SPAIN?! No, I'm in little ol' South Carolina. Someone had gotten my check card number (not just a credit card mind you-my bank account debit card) and was living the good life in Spain. Only one transaction got through, they blocked a second one because it was "suspicious." So...I get my happy little bottom on the phone with the credit union (where I happen to be pretty close with a VP and an AVP) to figure out what was going on. It seems that several transactions had occurred with several other members as well, so it does not look like my identity was stolen, thank goodness. Some smart loser is probably sitting in Spain having fun hacking into computers-smart jerk! I promise...if they want my life, they can have it! Anyhow, we are going to cancel our cards even though all Spain transactions have been blocked, I'm afraid they'll hop on over to some other country and we can't afford that-literally-so we'll take care of that early next week. It just figures...

And, it was a nasty day and it rained all day...figures on a Thursday...when we don't have a break...and we can't go outside for recess! I'm pooped! Until next time, as always, Remember Jackson!
