OK I'm checking out my checking account balance online a few minutes ago and notice a pending charge from some auto shop in Chicago for $464. That's strange, haven't been to Chicago since 2011.


Yep, another dirtbag somehow gets ahold of my debit card info and now I have to fill out an affidavit at my credit union and wait a week or two for a refund. Really?


This is like the third or fourth debit card I've had now in the last two years. I'm considering getting cash out each paycheck and just go old school and use cash for everything going forward. I use bill payer to pay the bills which is sweet but everything else is either debit or credit but it doesn't seem worth it anymore.


Call me Randy Moss cuz I'm going straight cash homey! Anybody else dealing with identity theft around here? This is the third time for me in two years.
