Went to McDonalds and came home and ate.

Afterwards I went online to check my transactions.
There was a whole lot of withdrawls at other banks that cleaned me out, then there was a few thousand dollars deposited which I didn't do.

The bank security staff noticed all of the unusual activity and cut off my limit.

I called the bank and they said I will have to see my branch on Monday.

Oh brother.

Please pray that this can be setttled quick.

Thanks.

God Bless!

Just a thought. In many cases it is a family member or friend. Don't be surprised...

Did you catch the "several thousand dollars deposited" part? I found that interesting. Makes me wonder if it could not be some sort of bank mistake. I don't know of thieves who actuall deposit money in accounts!

TB and Felicity has more ways to lift the offerings than just in the church. How clever they are.

That could be, however no family member or friend had access to my card and pin number.

Those were empty envelopes.
When you deposit the envelope the machine can't tell the difference between
empty & full envelopes.

THat was weird. But then again maybe someone who was a friend etc was trying to make a deposit before it was noticed as being missing...

I get it they were tyring to trick the system so you did not notice your money was missing so soon. Or they were trying to fake the system to get a bigger withdrawal.
