Fucking scammers piss me right the fuck off so here's the deal
My bank card had been "Comprimised" a couple times in the last 6-8 months in which everytime my bank said that there was a security concern and I had to change my card and get a new bank card #
So this sunday as I get waken up by a 1-800 number caLLING MY PHONE @ 8 I just ignore it and decide to get up (extremely hung over I might add ) and have a couple beers wqith my buddy to shake the hangover before I go golfing in a Tournament with my dad and my old boss. So I get to the course and decide to be a nice guy and buy the first round and go to pay with my debit card with gets dened and says on the terminal please consult branch. So I decide I shoul;d prolly check my messages remembering the phone call earlier. Check them and it says you need to go into your nearest branch asap and get things in order. I am quite pissed but thought it was just like the previous times so go on with my day and actaully save a bunch of coin as they paid for beers all day.
So monday I go into the bank like the message says and put my new Chip card in the machine and it asks me to change my P.I.N which I do no problem. Then i go into check my balances just to make sure everything is on the up and up.
Well I fucking nearly fell over when my balances read $8.11 and -$95.96 so I immediately go into the branch and find out what the fucks up. Teller asks me to go thru all the transactions and last time I used the card was friday nite so it wasn't hard at all. Those fucks ended up taking about $1940 bucks out of both accounts like 200-800 increments with me having possession of my card the whole time What a fucking joke
Couple questions for anyone with knowledge of this by working in a bank or fraud dept
How can I aviod this happening again?????
Does it take long it take to get back ??? and will there be any issues in getting it back

Well you always win when it's keyed in and they just get your credit card.
Pin based is a little more difficult because it appears that the card was present. Given how prevalant it is in Ontario maybe you have some recourse here. Have you talked to your bank yet?

Everytime ive gone through a day and started making a bunch of different purchases, my bank always calls me at some point (i forget the dollar amount) to verify its me using the card.
Hope you get it back tho, cause that sucks.
