I know I am a little late in answering this one as I am a little behind in the
email but catching up. you can’t trust people these days there are too many
hackers around and they love to take advantage of anybody that they can
especially the elderly and the disabled and those who are weak.
I have had onto numerous occasions statements sent to me from the bank stating
that my card had fraudulent activity though I didn’t know what it was so both
times, I had issued or I should say I had requested from the bank that they
issue me a new cards which they did. I tried to check my accounts both checking
and savings every day that way I keep on top of what is going on in all of my
banking activities. Especially when monies are being moved from one account to
another. It makes me so mad when people try to get things that they want and
someone else’s expense. It’s just not right.

That happened to me once. Had to get a new card and the bank reimbursed me
so that was good. Like you, I have no idea how my card was hacked but I got
a new one and haven't had any trouble since.

Thanks, everybody, for the nice Birthday wishes.
Shan is out in Seattle, so except for having dinner and drinks with Trevor
and his wife Christen, I was just with the two cats yesterday. Shan is
coming back Wednesday after going out for my brother-in-law's 50th
anniversary party, which they were holding a couple months early because of
the Seattle weather.
But, at dinner with Trev, we went to Arcadia Brewing's Lansing location. I
saw on the menu that they had my favorite beer -- Sagatuck Brewing Neopolitan
Stout. It really does taste like the neopolitan ice cream, and is wonderful.
This morning, unfortunately, I was checking my card transactions, as I often
advise people do between statement dates; and discovered five unauthorized
transactions on one of my cards. The fraud department sent me an alert on
two of them; and when I logged on to my account, I saw four more charges --
only one of which I had authorized.
So, somewhere along the way, somebody intercepted my card's info. It could
have been sitting on the "dark web" for a few years just lying dormant; or,
it could have been something fairly recent, like one of our other listers who
travels frequently, and has had her card misused as a result (I did purchase
Shan's airline tickets through a discount airfare site about a month ago.)
Anyhow, that card is history -- I'll be getting a new one with a new pin in
the next five days.
So, life goes on -- and there's lots of football to keep me entertained this
weekend!
Again, thanks everybody for the nice wishes,
Steve
