So, here's the funny thing about the whole ATM card scandal. I go to the bank the next day, and tell them what the issue is: my card was shut down due to a suspected "security compromise." Seems that BofA noticed some "suspect activity" on the card, and they called me to make sure that my charges were legit, and that no one had stolen my card number. But, since I wasn't home, they suspended my ATM card just to be on the safe side.
So what the heck was the so "suspect?" Let's take a look at my recent ATM activity...
$4 on PayPal for Biosfear
$30 at Walgreen's
$60 cash withdrawal
$13 to Punk Planet
Perfectly normal activity, for me! Could it be that BofA has a beef for Punk Planet? Naw--could it?
Anyway, back at the bank, the BofA representative says he just needs to order me a new card, and he snaps my photo (again, for security) and puts in a request for a new ATM card. But here's the thing: the number on the new card IS THE SAME as the number on my old, "suspect" card! What gives?!?
