Am I awesome? All clues point to YES!

So, Saturday morning, I am sleeping soundly on my 4-in memory foam mattress topper, nestled in my bed with my kitten Norm, when my phone rings. I choose not to look and see who it is because, let's face it, it is Saturday morning before 10 a.m. It could have been John Stamos calling to tell me he is in love with me and I still would have rather slept. About 30 minutes later, I look at my phone to see that it was an unknown number. So glad I didn't answer, I happily roll back over and sleep for another 30 minutes. I glance at my phone after getting up and almost getting in the shower, to realize the unknown caller left me a message.

"Hello Ms. Jenkins, this is Wells Fargo's Fraud Detection team calling to alert you of suspicious account activity on your Wells Fargo checking account ending in ####. Please call us back at ### ### #### to speak with a fraud specialist as soon as possible. Thank you."

Holy!

Apparently, someone got a hold of my debit card number and bought tickets from/to Italy, and a couple hundred dollars in other stuff. The city where the card was used was Villanova, Italy, the city where my grandmother was born, and where all my Italian ancestors live to this day. What are the odds?

Anyway, now I have no access to any money for 5-7 business days.

Apparently, I am pretty awesome, or else no one would have wanted to steal my identity. However, I am sure they were disappointed when my bank account and my awesomeness were incongruous.

  1. I had someone wrote down random numbers that ended up being my SSN to get money at a cash advance place for drugs in Vegas by a Vegas PD detective. :( That year my health records were also compromised....and something else happened with my bank account. Worst year ever. I'm trying to suppress those memories. :(

    But I'm glad they caught it!
