This is fucking ridiculous.

I've had my debit card frozen until I verified with my bank that I actually shop at Walmart for fuck's sake.

I am trying to teach my stepsons how important it is to review the charges on their debit cards, but they think that is annoying, so I am afraid they only will learn when something like this happens . Hope this resolves quickly and in favor of your dad!

Which necessitated an in-person trip to Wells Fargo only to be told they don't do that in person anymore.

(We were told before we had to do it that way.)

So anyway, that card has been terminated and not replaced because Visa will just hand the new card number to the scammer. And a shit load of charges have been disputed for a hopeful refund.

But.

GODDAMMIT.
