I just have to share this with you guys, to get it off my chest. :sad:
This morning I was doing groceries, and I was trying to pay with my creditcard. Then the machine told me it was blocked. I was like, that's impossible, I have more than enough money on my bank account.... so I went to the bank....

At the bank they told me they had blocked my creditcard, because some criminals tried to steal money off it, and off the creditcards of many others, by skimming. Google "skimming" if you want to know more about it. It's a kind of digital thievery.... They almost stole 3000 euros from my account IF the bank didn't handle quick. So happily enough there was NO money stolen from me, thanks to the bank.

Man, I was almost robbed......still shaking right now :disgust:

Damn, that's one good bank you have :P stupid thieves, the nerves of some people, eesh! Well at least it all ended well. You're lucky to have such reliable bank, when thieves tried stealing my mum's money the bank didn't do anything! So the money was stolen anyway :ehh: I'm glad your money is safe though!!!

thanks for yer support guys, yeah it was a really close call :o and I worked really hard to gain that money (I have COPD and I don't want to stop working because of it, but it drives me mad sometimes because I almost can't breathe) so if they took my money, I'd gone craaaaaazy :hmm:
