what the fuck? i got a call from the bank asking if i had spent like 500 dollars at empire clothing. i said no, because i haven't used my card in weeks and this was recently. plus i think i'd remember a purchase that big. but i'm confused...i have my debit card, but she said they used the number. you can't make purchases without the card can you? because there were 2 others, both at like restaurants and shit. how could that be? you can't pay with a number, can you?

has this shit happened to anyone else? it's kinda scary. i need to start carrying cash hahaa.

Yes you can pay with just a number and the expiration date of the card. That sucks by the way. I hope you get your money back.

yup i got my card cloned the other day but luckily the bank froze my account before they could spend anything. it sucked though cause i found out after i put 50$ of gas in my car so i had to leave them my health insurance card and license plate number and go get cash from home.
