now I'm scared and may close it, but I hate using my debit card number too.
We were recently victims of identity theft. I have no clue how they stole our debit card number and password and were able to take out the max amount of cash every day until we realized that our account had been compromised. We were in possession of our cards and the thieves were taking out money in another state. Bank or police couldn't give us any answers.
