So, to start off.. I'm house sitting.. The cat got sick. Vomit EVERYWHERE.
The second part to my luxurious morning was a scam artist.
Quite hilarious now that it's all over...
My mother and I are chilling on the couch, and she gets a notification that her Walmart order is ready.. note- we didn't order anything at all.
She looks at it, and see's a $120 charge for air pods.. on my grandmas card. xD
We were quick to cancel everything on our walmart account and delete the entire thing.. but there comes the starbucks (which the bank confirmed that's how they got into everything else. That's where they started.), and boy was that hell. Luckily, we got in beore they changed evreything, called the support line, and they sent everything to the original email. They're now going through a process to "protect" the account further.
We filed a fraudulent report with police, and they're looking into it. We acted fast between both my mother and I.. I handled starbucks, she handled the officer and the bank all after we both handled walmart.
As she got through to the bank.. He ordered beats through target, and a $125 visa gift card once he realized he was caught and out smarted.
Bank handled that, cancelled every transaction he made (starbucks, walmart, and target), and completely cancelled all the cards.
He is now fighting for our apple IDs, but we caught him in that as well, and changed EVERYTHING.
We withdrew all our money from the accounts as we were told to do, and we are waiting to see what happens next.
Walmart account had to be terminated, so did Target.. Starbucks and my 500 stars were saved, LOL.
It's just a laughing matter now since almost every (if not every) school district in the D/FW area in Texas has been cyber attacked recently. My brother is currently going to school. We think that's where it's from honestly.
And.. Grandma getting beats and air pods? LOL.
Just needed to talk about it honestly, it was quite an interesting morning.
UPDATE
He got ahold of my Navy Federal card just as I thought he was done.
Jokes on him.. I am utterly broke, and never put anything on that one, lol.
No harm done, cancelled the card anyways. Nice effort though. 😅 Very determined, LOL.
