I have trust issues. I check and recheck things to make sure they are going the way I planned. I make sure my money is safe. I make sure my kids are safe. I question things. Then this morning I found I was ripped off by someone. I don't know this person he intercepted a check I sent to a friend in Zambia. He changed the amount, date and then wrote who it was to go to in Chinese. My amount went from 150 to 5500. So as I am sitting at the computer with my hair sticking out in all directions- I see that everything is gone from our account. Checking and savings. And our credit card was used for overdraft protection, to the LIMIT! My hair was sticking out and then even more so.
I panic as any normal person would and call immediately. The soothing words of the person on the other end. Oh, that is fraud. It is OK we will credit you back and take care of this. Person in China BEWARE! they will find you and make you sorry you did that to us! Well most likely the bank will have to absorb the debt. I have a copy of the original check. So whapppp! my extra security measures played out this time. Now to deal with the even bigger trust issues that have developed because of my experience.
