My checking account was hit 3 times for $80.00, twice in one day, then once a few days later. I was lucky that I check my account every few days and found out quick. The bank told me that someone got my debit card # and was using it as a charge card without my pin number. The bank told me that the money was being transfered to account in Saudi Arabia to a phone company called SAWA, that`s all the information they had. The card company had to refund me the $240.00. I had to close that debit card and got a new one. I don`t know how my number was stolen but I have a feeling that the week before we went on vacation to Virginia Beach and maybe at a restaurant, that`s the only time my debit card was out of my sight. I have talked to other people online that the same exact thing happened to, same amount, same company and always 2 times a day. I was lucky to catch it before the 2nd $80.00 was taken the 2nd day. I would like to know it this happened to them and to tell people to be careful.
