    Check your bank accounts

    I pulled up my bank account and found a $140 charge for GrubHub out of NY the bank charged it back but I will be without the funds for 10 days. Had to cancel a order from Graf as this was my shooting act. NY is a long way from Texas and i needed the primers O well stuff happens.

    I use a debit card so I can pay cash but the only thing that account is for is online purchases. Money is moved there to make a purchase, the rest of the time the balance is around $30 or less.

    Credit cards are the safest thing to use. I have had fraudulent charges a few times. Once the bank is notified, the charges disappear instantly.

    Don't use your debit card online unless it is a wipe account.

    Use a credit card.

    Learned that 20 years ago.

    Debit cards that have Visa logo on them have the same protections as a credit card with out fees and better interest if thru a credit union.

    My bank offers a temporary CC# for every transaction I want to make. It's connected to real numbers of my account. I thought it'd be a headache but it's not. After you purchase something and the transaction goes through, that temporary number you used goes away!

    This many people don’t know.
    If your debit card or credit card is used as credit instead of debit the fraudulent charges are federal charges as it’s the banks money. If you use as debit you may be out of luck because it’s your money, not to mention credit score if you are a victim of identity theft.

    Unfortunately i have had to cancel 2 different credit cards in last year because of fraudulent changes. It seems that they go after people with no money to.

    I got a text asking if I made some charges on my card. It seems I rented 5 bicycles in San Francisco, paid an immigration service in Canada and paid $26 to watch a video of a kink I'd never heard of until that point. My bank credited it all back inside of 5 days.

    A good financial institution will take care of you. My credit union keeps a close eye on the transactions in my account, and they have on multiple occasions locked down my account when somebody had lifted the number and gone on a spree. Needless to say I love my credit union.

    I once had an ATT phone card and someone got a hold of my number. In two days that card was used all over the country and in Africa. Lucky, I never had to pay a cent of it.

    I don’t like doing it, but I use PayPal when ever possible. Just seems to be the safest and easiest way to do things these days. They helped me out a couple of times with misrepresented items and breakage in shipping.

    I had to cancel mine last year after I bought someone I never met a $6000 used car in California. My Wife is a retired bank manager and watches ours pretty close.

    I use a card with a low limit for online purchases. The card company keeps offering to raise the limit and I keep denying.

    I get a Chase Liquid Card, which you go into the Bank to "load" with what you just need for a purchase.
    But every time I use it. Someone somehow gets the # and starts charging all over the place. 2-300 dollars in other Counties & States. Went thru 3 differant cards last year.
    I live on a fixed income. I have to save my money for several weeks before I go to the bank to "load" that card. Once I made a deposit, went straight home to order from Midway. The card "bounced" when I made the order 30min later.
    I no longer trust it at all. But I'm on a fixed income and won't trust myself with a credit card.
    Going to close the acct. I'm paying $5 a month for a card I can't use.
    Besides I need money to pay Ca,La Cnty Property Taxes. Which are freaking outrageous. So I'll probably start selling stuff.
    My Wife checks our Bank Acct & CC balances every morning.
    I HATE auto-correct
