Scams by aryr 200 Word Story writing prompt entry |
Although, not considered by many as an interesting topic, I will endeavor to address a heartfelt concern. SCAMS and HACKING.
It affects everyone, everywhere. If you have not become a victim, you are simply lucky, and your time will come. I like you fell for the ploy that it will always happen to someone else, but never me. I trusted my credit cards and my bank cards. Three years ago, was the first attack. I used my bank card to fill up a family member's vehicle. Next day I discovered charges from states that had never been to and countries. I knew where Turkey was on a global map and that they had camels. I laugh now, but not then. I was looking at $700.00 over two days. The bank immediately stopped any transactions, when I called. New cards were issued. The second attack was just weeks ago, at gas bar. This seems to be the favorite attack area. Chips are secretly slipped into pumps. Again, a new card. The banks advice is never use your card as a credit card, check your account regularly when travelling, let your bank know when you travel and always call immediately with concerns.
