Seeing as I reside in the midwestern United States, I don't know how far reaching this message may need to apply...
My SO received a phone call from our local bank this morning regarding our debit/credit card. It seems that ours and many others numbers have been compromised. They informed him that they had cancelled our current card and reissued another one. Apparently it only applies to Mastercard account holders.
I'm aware that these types of incidents are fairly common but I wanted to toss the info out there in case anyone does use a Mastercard. It's also a good reminder imo to always be aware of activity going on in your accounts.
Personally, I would rather hold ALL cash and leave it out of the 'banks', for 'banking'
is just another distraction with more responsibility than I currently care to deal with. Maybe in the future I will have such a luxury...There is too much going on now in our lives financially to even think of going bank/check/card free...
