That doesn't sound like a wise thing to do, particularly since...

I hear you Roger. The money will be replaced. Getting a new ATM card shipped here will be the real headache.
I looked at my statement online once, and someone bought 4 airline tickets and flew to three locations within Mexico. I got it back, but have no clue how the hell they got the info.

Pretty simple algorithm actually. They do thousands of these a day.
It was when the guy was getting on the WiFi at the overpass bars and stealing CC info. Two of my buddies got their info stolen when I did, and it was used in different places

Cash is still king in much of the world.

You have it backwards. It's where the purchaser is, not where the merchant is. If they see you charge from Louisiana and then it appears that you're charging from Detroit it raises a red flag.

Why do you have that much money in checking?
My checking earns 3% on the first 15k, 0.5% on anything in excess..
It keeps me liquid while also earning a safe interest.

I got a text from Iberia bank...which I don't bank with...telling me that my ATM card has been temporarily blocked. Don't know if its some scam because it came with a link to click, but I'm about to call Iberia and see whats up.

I deposit the bulk of my 10k checks directly to savings and only a grand or so into checking to avoid this.

Make sure your ATM card does not connect to your savings so that a check overdraft drains your savings account. Some cards do, some cards don't.

Mine doesn't allow that. I sorted it out this morning. There were still charges pending when I caught the fraud and emptied my checking account into my savings before they cleared. So my bank will cancel the pending and I only need to have $3500 of the fraudulent charges reversed. New card will be expedited to my mom in Florida and I believe I have someone who can carry it to me here by Thursday.
I opened an account at a French International bank today as a backup. I'll be able to transfer from my US bank to my French bank going forward.
ETA One of the protocols for opening the French bank account was hand drawing directions to your house from the bank.

On a desktop you should be able to put the cursor over the link and it will show the true link in the lower left corner of internet explorer.
Or right click on link and click on copy shortcut, then paste in a document to see where it really wants to send you.
