Consumers with Forced Debit Card Reissues Step Forward

Las Vegas, Nevada
Yes, I was issued a new card by Wamu today. I awoke this morning to find my account over 1000 lighter than last night...I Lost my Mind! One of the very last places I used my debit card was Wal-Mart. WAMU will be crediting my account but that's not the point. I want to see these thieves FRY! The police said that they'd never heard of such a thing in their lives and that surely I gave my card to someone...yea right. They turned a blind eye. The Secret Service are the one's to call. They protect our money and know that the crooks are educating themselves!

I'll also echo Adam... my new card was on my doorstep in a fedex envelope.

.....This article rates a serious "oh, crap!" with me. If Sam's Club is involved, that's not good! I've bought stuff at least two or three times a month during the suspect period, on a Visa debit card, where you punch your pin in on the screen after swiping. I figured that since the cashier wasn't handling the card, and not seeing the pin, I was safe. Wrong. .....So far, no fraudulent activity on my checking account, at least.

I guess I should add info as to how I use my card... Mostly it's at the gas pump. I try to pay cash whenever possible, but dealing with Gas Station register jockeys near my apartment is excrutiating. I've used it at a Wal-Mart/Target as a debit card PIN transaction twice in the past year.
