No WSO Bump For Me

The other night I paid to bump my tax WSO, and my request was rejected.

I tried again thinking I had entered my info wrong - rejected again.

So I check my back account. Looks fine, though I see an ATM credit adding $4.79 to my account.

Weird, but money into my account is always good.

Then I see a withdrawal for the WSO - in a different bank account. Different card, different business, different address, etc.

What in the world??

Turns out someone had tried to make a suspicious $4.79 purchase on my card from some hotel. It triggered a security alert that immediately shut down my card.

That had resulted in the WSO payment rejection. I had then seen the bank reversing the fraudulent charge. And for reasons only known to gremlins, glitches, and programmers, the bank had shifted my WSO payment to a different account.

Thanks! Except all the forum saw was payment declined.

So now I have:

- No bank card while I wait for a new number to be issued that has not been compromised.

- No WSO bump.

- No $40 in my other bank account.

But the good news is the fraud was caught. The bank said the scam is to get a card number, make a small transaction to see if it goes through, and if it does to then make big withdrawal.
