Re: debit card highjacked...
checked the account this am...it's as if nothing ever happened.
I usually keep less than 10k in this account and I guess it would more realistically average around 5-7K.
I'm like you and keep the bulk in another bank and shovel from that acct to this one as needed. That way I can limit my risk even though, as you mention, 2800 would make for a bad enough day.
Might try the use of a credit card. I applied for one with rewards points yesterday while at the bank. I am so credit averse though, I'm not sure I can force myself to use it. hahaha
I have been using the debit card for what seems like a century and this was the first that anything happened. They say the newer chip cards are more secure, so I'll probably continue to use it...it's just so easy.
You'll forgive me, I hope, if I don't post the new card number. :-))
