Terrible. Someone stole my credit card info and maxed out my effing card! I’ve been on the phone with the bank for the past hour trying to sort things out. I feel so fcuking violated right now.
This situation has thankfully been resolved, and all the charges have been reversed from my credit card. I also completed a ‘search and destroy’ on all my devices too just to prevent my personal info from being released.
Thanks for your support everyone who responded.
So great to hear it ended well. You must have felt terribly when you found out and were trying to sort it out. I was robbed from my wallet money once at a party and can't forget that awful feeling. I'm glad you are OK now and that your card is safe.
But I don't see And I don't feel But tightly hold up silently My hands before my fading eyes And in my eyes Your smile
I mistook stars reflected in a pond at night for those in the sky.

Great news that it finally got sorted.
In the UK the limit for using 'contactless' cards has just been increased to £100 ($135) per transaction. Why are they making it so easy for thieves etc to max out your card?

I think we all know cashless is the long-term goal.
Ugh lioness I’m so sorry to hear that someone stole your wallet at an effing party! Were you ever able to recover it ?
sandgrounder - I believe they’ve increased the limit here (Canada) too for contactless payment. Boo.
Oh, it was a very long time ago, at my uni times, at the very end of the 90s I think, when cash was an essential method of payment. It was a closed party in a pub so it felt safe. They didn't steal my wallet, they took the money out. For me it was quite a large amount back then. They took also a spare packet of cigarettes I had in my purse. It was impossible to find the person(s) who did it.
In a way I was happy that they had left my ID and even a debit card. On the other hand the feeling of being robbed was just awful. Someone had violated my privacy, searched my purse and took something which was mine.
Stealing is a bad thing.
I'm very happy for you that you didn't lose anything, Danielle

Am I the only one who likes the limit increasing?
Life was so much easier in the school playground in the 1970's when we had a bartering system rather than money:-
1 wet finger in your Sherbet Dib Dab = 2 licks of your lolly 1 prize-winning conker was roughly equivalent to 3 swirley marbles 1 Kevin Keegan in your 1976 Panini Football Sticker Album = the entire Coventry City squad

I notice you're ignoring the complexities of marble exchange rates...
Livid. I just received a very mediocre performance evaluation. The results do not at all reflect all the hard work and effort I’ve put in over the past 12 months, and really over the past 12 years. It’s insulting really.
So glad I’m taking classes, hopefully a new career will soon follow!

I hope you told them that we all think you're pretty awesome
