To all of you who use your credit card online, make sure that you know what you are signing up for.
I was looking at my checking account today and noticed that there were charges on my account that were not approved by me.
I had to cancel my debit cad, because of all of the stupid stuff that ii had done while looking for work, one of the biggest things that i found on it was the google chest at almost 80.00, I don't even remember signing up for this. I dont think there is to much i can do about it now, so just as a word of caution PLEASE BE CAREFUL.

yeah I got nailed with it too. I am not sure what it is the bank and I are trying to get my money back. I got charged with 74.20 and of course I do not keep much money in that account because it is not my primary checking acount. So of course I got charged with other fees. Boy I hate that. I have been calling trying to get my money back but of course there is no anwser at the other end. I am just hopeing that it will not charge that account again or I am going to have to get everything changed like you. Boy that is a pain in the butt, Oh well life goes on and I try not to stress about it but I am more careful now what I am signing up for and I am thinking to get one of those prepaid credit card for any purchases on line that way I know they will leave my real money alone.

I guess they charge every month to use this, I am glad that you know what I am talking about. If i were you to keep you account from bouncing I would go ahead an get a new debit card. If you don't have a debit card then i suggest changing everything over. As for trying to get my money back I think that it is next to imposable.

Here's a good piece of advice:
NEVER BUY A CREDIT CARD. Credit cards are hazardous to your financial health if you can't stop yourself from buying things, and in high numbers, credit card debt can be almost impossible for you to pay off in your lifetime.
As for using accounts online, Paypal's good. Why do you think any of us is here?

I don't buy credit cards, this was a bank issued visa for my checking account, because Of this incident I have now given my visa to my husband and told him not to give it to me unless i can verify that I absolutely need it. He has always been the good one with money, and he seems to be able to save it.
