The sheriff just left our house I made a report out

I got an email on my phone early this morning from my bank that someone made two very large charges on my credit card of $665.90 and $998.77 and I did not do it. So I called the bank and canceled my card and got a new card. Then I called my other credit card bank I had and did cancel that card also just to be safe and they are mailing me a new card from both banks. Then I went up to my bank where my checking account is and got a new debit card just to be safe. Then I called the sheriff and made out a report to try and catch this creep doing this. Somebody used my credit card in the next county. I was shaking like crazy when I saw these charges but did not go out and smoke up over it all. I did call life lock and they are behind me all the way to help me and to even get a lawyer if needed if the bank won’t excuse these charges. I hope the sheriff can somehow catch this creep doing this to me. I have calmed down some now but at first I could not stop shaking. That was my day so far. Now I have to go to Costco to get some med's I hope nothing else happens today that tops this. No smoking no matter what and you know what so far I don’t want a smoke so Yay!  The whole time I was making out the sheriff report our rabbit was running in circles around the sheriff’s feet I could not catch her. Luckily the sheriff did not get mad at the rabbit.

elvan I guess these crooks think they will never get caught so they keep doing this kind of stuff. I wish we did not have to worry about this kind of crap.

Legend  OMG, Christine, I am SO SORRY, I guess I should have signed off earlier last night.  I was so freaked out thinking it was Missy and that it was yet another HUGE and annoying thing to have happen.  I suspect your bank will reverse the charges since they were on a credit card and also since you reported them so promptly.  Since mine were on a debit card, it held things up.  The fact that my bank would not LET me report it promptly also helped to make my case.

DO keep us posted.  I am so sorry that I misread the post.

XOXOXO,

Ellen

elvan Don’t worry about it I know how it is with very little sleep and pain constantly not letting you sleep. Then you got the ice packs you have to deal with and you can’t sleep with those on you. I have to deal with the same thing every day. I have been so sleepy I even mixed up my quit date with another date and that pissed me off. I hope you got some sleep now. I was so sleepy I did get a good 4 hour nap and I will take anything I can get. Hugs to you.

Legend  A four hour nap????  That is an entire night for me...as I am sure it is for you.  I started aqua therapy today, nearly killed me.  I am in so much pain now that I feel like I might completely lose my mind.  In addition to my usual back pain, it aggravated my sciatica and my knee is twice the size it was before I went.  I really did not need to aggravate it.  I have been working out in my friend's pool but this was different, it was much slower and probably more focused.  I was really surprised that she had me stand on one leg at a time and my so called good leg would not hold me up.  I would NEVER pass a field sobriety test...good thing I probably will never HAVE to.

I so hope your credit card issues get straightened out.  I AM tired all the time...can't remember what it is like to sleep for a full night, no matter what I do.  Sometimes I have to switch out heat for the ice because sometimes the ice puts me into orbit.  I so wish there was something that could be done but apparently wishing is not going to get me anywhere.

XOXOXO,

elvan  GOOD NEWS today the charges got reversed on my credit card.   I got one of my new credit cards shipped overnight and that is now activated as of yesterday and my new account is up for me to use now. The creep that made the charges to my account is still on the loose and I hope gets caught soon.

Thank goodness for pain clinics and specialist to help us with our constant pain. Crying helps to let out the frustration of it all but then I get a headache from crying so that’s the way it goes. I guess that is why I like to get chocolate sometimes and have that when I get really stressed out to help me somehow. I hope you are having a better day today. I can’t remember either the last time I slept all through the night I wish I could again.

I'm really glad you had a positive outcome with the bank.

I know that hollow, helpless feeling when you've been robbed.

YAY for you Christine!!

Love and hugs

Bree19 Me too I was so happy to see my account back on track. It is so easy for someone to take your money now days I wish someone could find a way to stop this from happening to everyone. Thanks for the love and hug I will take all I can get. Hugs back to you.

I can't sleep so decided to read blogs awhile. I had dark chocolate before I went o bed on coffee ice cream, huge mistake...it keeps me wide awake. But oldest grandson was here....what's a Nana to do, lol???

Anyway saw this and am going to sign off and pray myself to sleep for you and Christine. I deal with pain occasionally but nothing like you describe. I'm so very sorry you guys have such bad pain. When my osteo hits , it is usually when there a bad barametric weather change and my hands hurt so bad. The MS is more weakness than anything when it acts up.

anyway, thinking of you both and hope you both get a good nights sleep tonight and that Christine's card issue gets resolved.

love you both!

Missy
