This was 6:30 in the morning! I told her I didn't talk to anyone at that ungodly hour and hung up. My husband checked and,sure enough,some doofus had opened a credit card in my name at a bank I don't use. Today, the " bank" called to report my husband had overspent his credit card....sure enough,DH's identity was hacked. We are becoming good friends with the police folks. Rats

Oh Francie sorry you are going through this. A fellow at work went through this a few years ago and he had a heck of a time clearing up the mess
|
So sorry, Francie. Hope it's not too painful to get it straightened out.
GramE... so excited to what you are doing with my fabric! Thank you. |
Francie - been there a number of times. At least once a year one of our cards are "compromised" and we get a new one. One time the credit card called my DH and asked if he had recently purchased Xbox stuff with his card. He answered what is a Xbox and they said "that's what we figured" !! They know us well!!
We have never had to pay for any of the frauduant charges. Check your credit reports. they are free and they show who and when has asked for information. We had the companies put a flag on our accounts so if someone asked for information they would let us know. |
I once had a $900 bill for car repairs in Texas....had NEVER been to Texas. That was when they had to put in the numbers by hand..now days its not so easy to be a "true" mistake..lots of dishonest people out there!

I was checking my bank acct to see how much I'd spent on gas one month, my husband keeps track, and I saw a charge for $8.16 at a Wendy's 80 miles from here. Well, the short of it was they credited back the 8.16 & gave me a new debit card, but I asked the lady at the bank " 8.16 at Wendy?" She said they had probably been trying out a card they had made to see if it would work! Ha, my husband said the probably saw what my balance was & knew that was all they were gonna get! I only use my debit card for fabric & gas and I had it in my purse. So they don't need to steal the card anymore to steal your money.
My son checks his banking every day & found a charge to a Walmart in California for electronics that was scheduled to be picked up later that day. I bet they were surprised when they got there! Even when you are trying to be safe, they will get your numbers. |
too funny GramE

A while back I was asked about the Origami Block so here are the directions and some pictures of the one I made for Jaba.
Hope you can read this. If not, just ask. [ATTACH=CONFIG]558859[/ATTACH] Picture of the pieces. I made a template to do the half square rectangles, but sometimes I paper piece them. [ATTACH=CONFIG]558860[/ATTACH] Finished block for Jaba [ATTACH=CONFIG]558861[/ATTACH] |
