Home of Rhett & Link fans - the Mythical Beasts!
After 10 years of being online (with a better part of it doing my banking that way), my computer & credit card were hacked. They might have been related or not. Anyway, there were a couple of suspicious transactions that I knew I didn't make. So I called the bank & sorted out the situation. I was only concerned a little bit as I was amazed that it didn't happen earlier. I guess with an almost constant Social Media presence (also part of my professional business to do so), it was bound to happen.
Apparently, credit & / or identity fraud is big illegal business in itself. I think criminals take small amounts (that will go unnoticed most of the time by average consumer) from 1000s of innocent people affected by it to make a profit. If $5 - $40 is taken from all those credit cards, that is a total of $5000 - $40000 just like that. It's scary I know but we all take a risk when doing pretty much everything online. Just a part of life. Have no fear my fellow Mythical Beasts. Have no fear!!! :)

Nooo Rhett! you were only mocking people who say those stupid things, now you have become one!!! haha
I love chicken wings as much as the next fe-melle, but that is a LOT of fast food! This guy really must have been having a fast food party with his friends every day.
I've never had anything hacked/stolen. I lost my card once and had to cancel it and couldn't buy anything until I got a new one mailed to me. Kind of a #firstworldproblem but not fun.
Yup!!! :)
