Has this happened to anyone else? What did you do?

So I discovered my checking and savings accounts were drained over the weekend. I stopped my account... which only has about $30 left between the two now... and that's about all I can do for the time being until my bank opens tomorrow. 😬

I guess my question is what do I do in the future? Keep my money stuffed in the mattress? How do I stop it from happening again?

you just don't let your bank account number out to internet... get a new card

@MartinTheFirst I've never used my debit card online ever. And I've had this account for 10+ years.

probably some waiter snagged the number as you payed

or you used it in an ATM or debit device that had a skimmer. Can't you call your banks lost card line and alert them to the issue?

@dumpstermeow the scammers can install something into the atm that reads your pin and acct # when you use them. That's why it is easier and safer to use the tapchip on your debit card
