I got "robbed" last weekend. I wasn't mugged in the streets or anything but apparently some nasty bastard copied my debit card. At first, I noticed several hundred euros missing from my account. I couldn't tell why because transactions weren't visible in my account statement. On Monday, I saw three different purchases made with US dollars at Macy's in Illinois, USA.
I acted immediately. I closed my card and informed my bank about possible card duplicate running around. The bank clerk asked me to write a report: how and when I lost the money. If my story checks out, I'll be refunded. There shouldn't be any problem: The purchases in The States were made few hours later than my previous purchase here. I should have a private jet or something to travel so fast between these continents.
I'm still amazed that my account wasn't entirely wiped out. If I was a bad guy I'd withdraw every single penny. Luckily this bastard wasn't that clever.
