underworld Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 just found out some fqer in canadia got over $1k off me using a fake atm card. OVERNIGHT! withdraws from gas stations, pharmacies and a $62 trip to KFC. at least they'll die of a heart attack at an early age. WTF! Quote
hawkeye69 Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 underworld, it happened to me once. the basturds got my wallet at smith rock. my bank covered everything. you have to make sure and file a police report. good luck. Quote
Winter Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 So how does someone use a fake id card to withdraw money from account? Sure you didn't leave it in the canadian brothel? Quote
underworld Posted September 27, 2006 Author Posted September 27, 2006 card's been on me the whole time. at least if i left it in the brothel i might've gotten something for my money. no idea how they make/use the fake card. Quote
slothrop Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 Could be anything. They could have bought your information from some Russian organized crime syndicate (seriously!) and then made their own card. Quote
fenderfour Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 They could have skimmed it. THere are protable readers that will pull the info from a card and enable them to make a fake. Snopes on Skimming More on Skimming and protecting yourself Quote
Dechristo Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 can we put up a fence or somethin? Quote
Mal_Con Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 Happened to me too, we were canoing on Murtle Lake and climbing Wavy Crest and some lowlife in Clearwater ran up a bunch of charges while we were gone. Quote
jmace Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 they just keep trying random numbers..they dont need your stinking card Quote
G-spotter Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 a $62 trip to KFC. WTF! burp! protable the protable comes before the huxtable, right? Quote
TREETOAD Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 The cops are always busting asian gangs in Vancouver with thousands of blank visa and Amex cards. They make their own card with your number on it. Blame outsourcing!! Quote
Jens Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 Sorry to hear the news. I'll bet we've got more (higher %) ATM and credit card fraud down here in the states though. Quote
