Contact your bank...since it is a debit card, you will not be able to recover what you have lost...but you can prevent more from coming out...

Good luck to you...

If it's a MasterCard Debit card then it works exactly the same way as a normal credit card for fraud protection and recovery.

I agree with what August said, Post haste. You might even have to get a new card.

Good luck.

I called the customer service number shown on the bank statement.

apparently, about 2 years ago, a kid showed up at my door selling magazines.

the only magazines he had that i would be interested in were "flying magazine" and "Plane & Pilot" and "Maxim"- I already had subscriptions to "Flying" and "Plane & Pilot" and didnt want to subscribe to a Maxim magazine from some door to door guy.

However he gave me the option of signing up for a magazine subscription that would be forwarded as a gift to a soldier in Iraq or Afghanistan and as a bonus i would get 6 months of any magazine on the list.

I singed up for a young lady in Iraq, sent her a magazine subscription as a gift and received my "Maxim" for 6 months woo hoo!

well, turns out, in the fine print, when you sign up with these door to door c*ck bags, you also sign up for a 6 month trial for a "Whole Sale Buyer Service" and a "Identity Theft Service"... at the end of the 6 month trial, you receive a phone call asking the following questions:

1. you would like to renew your subscription?

2. were you satisfied with your subscription and would you like to make any changes to your services in any way?

You answer No, i dont want to renew the subscription and i dont want to change my service.

bam... they got you... because you said "No" indicating you dont want to change your services in any way... the trial "whole sale buyer service" and "identity theft service" charges of $14.95 each kick in, and are debited to the account you used to pay for the magazines with - each month - until you call to cancel it.

so boys and girls

DONT BUY ANYTHING DOOR TO DOOR - NO MATTER HOW GOOD THE CAUSE MIGHT APPEAR TO BE.
