Uggh... you seem to have really bad luck with this... I'm sure it has nothing to do with anything you've done, though. This kind of theft must be really easy these days with all the electronic transactions and such.

oh wow. skimmers. what a pain in the butt! thanks for letting me know about this article, i actually decided to contact the reporter since she asked about people who think they were affected by this. but i haven't used that ATM they were talking about. maybe another one is affected too. ICKY

sorry about your ATM card :( how long will it take to get those purchases negated?

i don't know... they were supposed to e-mail me a form but it hasn't come yet. i think they said they have to wait and see if the charges "post" to my account (right now they are still "pending"). so maybe they will be able to intercept them so i don't have to do the forms? but it still says i have no money in my account.
