Somone hacked into my bank account has drained it dry; well, they kindly left me $33 odd dollars.
And, of course, today is the day all my automatic payments come out. Lots of ringing around to do. Plus the fact I was intending to get cash out today for incidentals and such.
It is only money I suppose; but sadly money is rather necessary these days. And I do feel rather violated, if that is not too strong a word. From what the bank told me, it was one of those jobs where they sweep through numbers and expiry dates looking for a match and they found me. The joys of debit cards which can be used as credit cards... It will take up to 3 weeks for the money to be returned.
I am usually so careful on the internet with transactions, but perhaps I made a mistake somewhere. Or perhaps it was random, probably was -- who knows: no less annoying and frustrating.
