This post is going to be a total rant: theives can just go to hell - screw the handbasket. I hope someone catches them and throws their ass in jail for the rest of their natural lives and a few after that if it’s possible.
Today I’m busy doing damage control b/c some dumbass got my credit card number and the worst part - I found out they most likely got my credit card info through no fault of my own. One of the merchants who had a test charge on my bank account (who, incidentally, is also doing damage control from the hundred other credit cards that were used against their website) informed me that people skim credit cards that are in the mail.
Yeppers, simply because my credit card was up for renewal and it arrived in the mail - that was it - someone decided it was well within their right to steal my money and attempt to buy their christmas presents with it…
My best advice, if you’re one of those unfortunate individuals who gets a renewal credit card in the mail around the Dec timeframe, check the envelope and make sure it’s not opened in any way - doesn’t have to be torn or anything, just make sure it’s still tightly sealed. Wait until your real card expires to activate your new one. Keep a watchful eye on your statements.

I really hope that you find them and kick their ass. It would discourage future thieves if they thought that a righteous ass pounding was in their future.

Thanks Tom,
I’m a very non-violent person. Having said that, if I do happen to catch this person…I’ll pay someone to do the ass-pounding for me - they’re not even worth the bad karma
