So I went out drinking sat night and somebody swiped and skimmed my ATM card's pin number and made off with 2 grand before i shut it down.

I can certainly say 2 grand for 6 hours of drinking was above my fun/hour threshold.

What does "skimmed" mean? How did they get your pin?

Does your bank cover your loss once it's proven as stolen?

I'll have to argue with them since the criminal got my pin number and got money that way, I've heard they try to accuse you of writing your pin on your card.

Fortunately I have legal insurance here (as they are more lawsuit happy in Germany than the US) which means non high level dispute you permanantly have an attorney on retainer. If the bank fucks with me they should take care of it.

Glad to hear it then, I hope you get it all back.
Banks try to accuse their clients of anything possible to not cover them in cases of loss, it's horrible. They act like insurance companies do, but with your money.

Did someone bump into you? I'm always checking after anyone bumps into me, as it seems like thats how they mainly happen.

Yeah, I have no complaints whatsoever about how BofA handles claims. Of course, they freeze my ATM card even if I try to run up a bigger charge or withdraw more cash than my typical pattern. They pretty much freeze my card out of hand as soon as I try to use it outside of my home state. I've just gotten into the habit of calling customer service first and letting them know I'll be travelling.

The one time I did have bogus charges on my BofA card, they refunded the charges by the next atm withdrawal.

I got my Union Bank card stolen once, and they required a letter of explanation with an itemized list of the fraudulent charges, plus a police report. A month later, they refunded the charges.

Son of a gun, my credit card company just called and said my card was used illegally for some online purchases today.

Have you used it somewhere you don't normally use it? Perhaps an online site or a gas station you don't normally visit? Those are the most common ways credit card info gets compromised.

Yeah it was 1:30 when I took cash out and I was moderately drunk, so i'm sure I was a somewhat easy target.

Moral of the story is when you run out of cash at 130 just go home instead of going to the ATM to stay out another 3 hours...

You can't alter your behavior based on one statistically improbable occurrence. Drink more, be merry.

We hardly use it at all but not that I can tell. We did take a trip last weekend but we only used it on the hotel. Hmm.

Heh, BofA just refunded about $50 of interest rate overcharge on my credit card for the year. Sadly, I never would have noticed.

Was the hotel booking online or in person?
Maybe it was a staff member there.

My wife did it over the phone. I'm going to go see if that was the only thing on there. Then I'll nail those bastards!

Feel free to throw out some examples. It's been a really long time since I played a video game that actually made, and kept, my heart racing.
