I've Been Compromised!
Or, rather, my debit card number has been compromised. My sister-in-law's mother (and, incidentally, my next door neighbor) works at the local bank where my account is. She called today to tell me that somehow my debit card number has been compromised and that I need to get rid of my current debit card and I will get a new one issued in 10-14 days. I checked my account online tonight, and *thankfully* there are no fraudulent charges (thank you, Lord!). I'm not sure how this happened since I am very careful with how I use my debit card. I don't use it online, at gas stations, or any place where it leaves my sight, such as restaurants. I use my credit card in these instances instead since I pay nothing if I get fraudulent charges. This is one reason why I will *never* be without a credit card. For the next 10-14 days, that is what I will use. I'm soooooooo thankful that this problem was so minor!
