Banking theft is alive and well. December 10th 2014 someone completed a soft hit on my bank account using my debit card. They withdrew $7.73 then put the money back. The next transaction was for a jail inmate account in Denver Colorado.
First notification was to my bank. Card closed, account secured and changed. The next call was to our local police department to obtain a case number. Then to another police department in Denver Co to report a fraud. Finally to post the fraud with the FBI at IC3.gov.
Guard your debit and credit cards.
If you hand your card to any store clerk watch them closely to make sure they are not carbon copying your card. All they need are the numbers and expiration to post to any prison or jail commissary through the company that may have been responsible for not providing better security Telerus Jail accounts.
Companies who post to inmates accounts are compensated by charging each transaction up to ten or more dollars. This trillion dollar industry has a serious flaw in security.
Just a fair warning to all of you out there; guard your accounts.
Merry Christmas
