I got an email letting me know that I just spent $100 at Walmart. Considering I didn't, I had to go through the fun of notifying PayPal - still no word from them, by the way, and calling Walmart. Both "put in an inquiry."
Since my account has my visa information just sitting in there, I had to get a new card too. Luckily I didn't have too many bills automatically linked to my card, but still - hassle. My bank also put in an inquiry as well so we'll see how that goes.
I was told by Walmart that the thief bought two $50.00 iTunes gift cards. Which automatically went to a yahoo account. And here's the fun part - Walmart wouldn't tell me the the yahoo account - because clearly it wasn't mine and clearly that's privileged information. Yeah - Walmart protects their thieves. Had she told me, I would have posted it publicly, sent a few nasty emails that mostly center around the theme of "If you're so technologically savvy, here's a thought: GET A JOB!" And encouraged everyone I knew to send this tool a strongly worded email as well.
But the likelihood that this was just a temporary email, made special just to steal from me with, I'm assuming my rant would have fallen on deaf ears.
I hate people sometimes.
