Default POS Credit Card Thieves!!!

Man I am soooooo pissed off right now. I have been at work all day since noon, I get a call from my mom saying Master Card called about a fraud alert.

Well i call back and apparently there was an attempted purchase for $1800 at a Best Buy in Burbank, Ca. So of course it wasn't me. Got the money back, but the rep. tells me that someone probably cloned my card and PIN from a purchase i made recently.

Then these POS theives go into a Best Buy pretenting to be me, less than 5 miles from my parents house?!? I wish i could find out who they were, I would teach them a ****** lesson, followed by a size 12 steel toed boot insertion in their **** cavity.

Best buy has loss prevention that utilizes a **** load of cameras. File a police report they should easily get a picture of the persons' face and best buy was supposed to stall and call the police. ******* dicks!

Did you use your card at a bar or restaurant? Think of any place where it was out of your sight for a period of time.

Speaking from a best buy employee here,.. They should have called the local pd and stopped the guy and held him in the LP office. But from what ive seen going to diff stores, Most of the lp guys at the door have never made a stop in their life. I remember me and my boss went to the reno store to help and we were making stops because of the lp guy not knowing what was up.

But because bestbuy uses DVR systems, they can definally get a picture of the douche bag and if they watched him to his car which we do, maybe even get a make and model and plate # ... good luck man ! ..

I had alot off problems with PayPal. They were dipping into my Amex account. Once I got that sorted out and I told Amex to refuse anymore PayPal charges then went right after my checking account. It was very difficult to get a hold of anyone at PayPal. I will never use PayPal again, garbage. I hope they catch your thief.

Here locally mexican places are copying your card numbers down and exp dates and the security code on the back, and sending this info to mexico and then having them run your card for hundreds or thousands!! and its harder than fawk to get it back due to it being another country!!! watch out!
