Re: Your credit card
Now that we're back up north (NYS), just today we reopened a bank account at a small, local savings bank with about seven branches all within a few miles of where we live, as the bank had to shut the account a few weeks ago when two fraudulent checks totaling about $1,000 hit the account, written out of a national bank in Des Moines, Iowa. I noticed it only because another of our accounts provided automatic overdraft protection.
We marvel at this; how on earth would anyone figure out not just our small bank's routing number (which is easy, I guess...) AND our checking account number? We can't be more vigilant!
One of our sons is a programmer working for one of the major brokerage houses in the U.S. (the world?). His sole job is to stay one step ahead of the hackers! What a world we live in....
