It's common for people who work international to be paid once a month.

Damn...any card other than an AMEX should have a $1,500 - $2,500 per day transaction cap on it!

It may be a case that my bank lifted those limits because I'm out the country. I need to find all this out tomorrow.

These guys were bold. They didn't do any transactions under
$1500.

Mastercard has caught some odd ones for me. I don't know how they noticed it, but they saw me at McDonald's in BR and then trying to buy a TV in NC within 5 minutes of each other. Halted the transaction and called me. There was another charge for $16 at a car wash up there the day before that I didn't notice, and the thief was trying to buy a $2500 TV that day. Pretty sweet catch.

Had a new card within two days

What's so hard to believe about it? I work an international assignment, get paid once per month and don't have taxes removed from my check.

Ignore TH03 being his normal homo self, everyone else here believes you. I doubt it was from a scanner on the machine unless they actually made a new card which they then used it to withdraw cash....and unless your ATM card is way different than mine you can't take out that much in a day. It sucks that the bank is closed but you will get all of your money back soon though so don't sweat it too much. The reason I say I doubt it was a scanner on an ATM is because when they do that they usually don't use the cards the same day, they let it run, and then they use the info to actually make new cards. Then they also usually have a pinhole camera to snag your pin and once they have like 100 cards they go around withdrawing as much cash as possible, it's not something they could likely do in a day.

My view is that they didn't withdraw cash. The only way to get money from a bank account like that with debit card information is to use it for charges. There are cash withdrawal limits in place for a reason and being in another country doesn't change that fact.

Am I the only one that just checked their bank account balance after reading this thread?

We got burned enough that we don't use ATM cards anymore. Everything we purchase is on credit. It never cost me anything but it happened to my business account a few times.

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.


Got the same text on my Bank cell phone.

OP,

Define what they said about not being able to do nothing about it. Pretty sure they won't be able to post tonight so maybe that's what they mean. Any idea how you got scammed?
