In the bag goes….
1. Bank of America/ Visa.
I go to the mall today with my family, and my debit card is declined. Since that hasn’t happened since my 7th street days… I was concerned. My initial thought was that Shane had taken all of the money and went to Mexico. That was a little overboard, so I went with my second thought… maybe a check I had long ago forgotten just now cleared. I call Bank of America. My credit card number had been stolen. On December 22 (or there about), somone had attempted to use my card a total of four different times, each time with no success. Just today they figured that out. And no, they didn’t feel the need to call me and let me know. They decided to let me find out the hard way. I go out to buy shoes, and my card is declined. I feel like an asshole. I’m embarrased. There are people in line behind me, and my family (who I feel like I should constantly be impressing) are gawking at me.
So I call Bank of America. They tell me that my card number was viewed and written down by some person, and that person tried to use my card. They won’t tell me any more information than that, because “we are still investigating.” Now my bank account, along with all my credit cards, are frozen. Some son of a bitch took my card number, and no one figured they should tell me about it. At least they didn’t get my money as well. If I ever found out who did this, I will personally shove my foot up their ass. Visa is investigating… and I was told they have ways to track where the card was tried and (if computers or telephones were involved in purchasing) who tried it.
I hope they find that bastard.
2. Hewlett Packard
The charger to my laptop no longer worked. We ordered another from HP. HP said it would work and it was compatible. The package said the same. Why then, did it fry my fucking laptop? Why?
And now HP wants me to send them $298 so they can “service” the computer. Are they stupid? Who does that, really? Who fries a computer and then wants money to fix what they fucked up? Who? I’ll tell you who. HP. Never, ever buy shit from them. They mess it all up. Just don’t.
