    Apparently I like to play online poker and sign up for Final Fantasy websites.

    I hate both of them. At least pick something that I'd be interested in so that it seems more legit.

    Over $150 in charges.

    Such crap.

    Now I have to call the bank tomorrow.

    Wow. You see, when I lost my wallet, I canceled the card within seconds. Sounds smart doesn't it?

    Well I think its smart if you realized u lost your wallet right then and there but he or she said they didn't realize they lost their wallet. o___o anyways that sucks I always wondered what happens to ppl when their identity is stolen like do you have to pay back all of that stuff or what, I always here about it but I never get the answer.

    Usually the bank immediately cancels your account and you have to make a new one, get a new card and all that stuff. You don't have to pay the charges if you can prove you didn't purchase them.

    So it's all good... just annoying.

    If it's the same where you're from as in NZ, you just go to the bank and fill out a few forms and they reverse the bills. I've had to do that before when places I have recurring payments set up to mysteriously "disappear".

    Meh, better than Paypal taking $500 from your account and then claim you're trying to rip them off and then getting both your paypal and bank account shut down due to suspicious activity.

    Well... if I ever lost my wallet, I would know, so I don't know how you don't know you lost your wallet if it has credit/debit cards in it!

    That's just dumb...

    Sorry for the ID theft...

    I've already had PayPal do that to me, but it wasn't for $500, but rather somewhere around $100.

    Bank has been dealt with. No I just have to fill out the affidavit they send me and sign up for a new card.

    Super.

    No, it isn't dumb. I was at a carnival and I got pick-pocketed. Now that I am looking back, I know exactly when it happened, but meh, a little late now, eh? I didn't realize my wallet was gone until I was leaving, and then I couldn't remember if I had maybe left it at home. No one I was with could remember if I had it or not, considering I didn't pay to get in, my buddy paid for me, so I waited till I got home. By then, I was like, "OMFG Wallet is lost, better cancel...*screen loads on my bank account*...shiiiiit....."...-_-...
