What is Wrong with People?
This week we saw eldest grandson turning 16! Hard to believe! Dylan is now 6'3 and getting ready to get his license. That is where this story begins.
We all went out to celebrate this monumental birthday.
Somehow, someone was able to clone our card! Grrr...
We were alerted by our fraud alert company. Not one, but two charges were made to a veterinary hospital in Massachusetts! While Steve handled the bank duties, I called the vet in question. They were most grateful, as this was done online and they would have filled and shipped the order.
What is wrong with people??
We all know that when things get tough (inflation, interest rates and businesses shutting down, etc) more experiences like this start happening. However, is it really worth it, with so many of us have safety nets in line that alert us and catch the fraud so quickly?
It will probably take about a week to clear up the damage! The saddest part is that whoever did this won't face any repercussions. They'll probably just laugh and try again.
All we were doing was celebrating our grandson. Who knew it would result in a crime?
Lately my optimism over the state of the country is fading.
