Post 3: Somebody Stole My Bank Card Number
Well, finally we have a conclusion to somebody stealing my bank card number and shopping all over the United Kingdom with it! (For background, see the first and second post.)
All the fraud charges were reversed on my card. My bank, who seemed to enjoy charging me overdraft fees every single day this whole ordeal went on even though they knew my account was with the fraud division of their bank, finally reversed all their charges too. We got our money back.
We never were able to file a police report. Every time we went to our police department, they were closed. Locked up tight. Nobody working. Our tax dollars at work!! We don't know how my bank card number made it to the United Kingdom and there isn't a police report to go after the people who did this (which likely wouldn't result in any charges anyway...these hackers are good). It's over with.
Now that our money is back, it won't be there long. I'm not keeping that account.

Great news to hear that is all resolved. But I'm amazed the bank didn't automatically change your bank number.
They said they did after I went down there to notify them of the fraud charges the first time, but they didn't. More fraud charges showed up and they said "oops". So I went down there again and talked to a different person who cancelled that number. They offered me a new card but I declined. I don't plan on staying with that bank.
