Fraud.

So I am a lady and I don't curse but oh my freakin' goodness. So I was laying in my comfy bed. Super relaxed when husband comes charging in the room asking me about some random online purchases. "Are you sure?" After I repeatedly answered yes. He said the words.."someone stole my ******* card" Uhm what the crap? Yep thats right folks. Some super cool person(I am guessing a woman) decided to be nice and charge $255 dollars on MY account. Now folks this is MY account. With my money(that husband gives me) to buy things I need. This person took it all and then some.
Hot Topic, Express, and some random $1 charges which were most likely just to make sure the card worked. I have an idea of how/when the info was taken off my card. (I don't online shop...I just don't) But as husband said "I can't be positive"
I am angry. Annoyed. Hurt. Shocked. So many thoughts are running through my head. Maybe I wouldn't feel so bad if they had spent the money at Vons or some other grocery store, maybe then it was because they needed to feed their starving children they rescued from a burning building...but clothes??? Seriously?
What made them think this was ok? That they could just take from me? Did they see me and think I could just "afford" it and wouldn't care? What in the world made them think that it was no big deal? Do they even care? Feel guilty?

And now a letter...

Dear super person who jacked my information from my card,
I hope you feel great about yourself right now. You ordered a ridiculous amount of stuff($100+ at each store)online. Hot Topic? Seriously? What is wrong with you that you thought this was ok? Did you think you could really just order crap off my card and you would just 'get away with it". Did you stop to think that maybe I had bills to pay with this money, that maybe that money was for my child, for MY FAMILY? When you first saw me what did you think? That I was "super rich" and could just afford to pay for you too? I hope you know that because of you and your dumb choice, it has now affected me and my family. It's not fair and it is YOUR FAULT! Well you know what they say about Karma....so good luck with that.
-Jessica. (You should know that though, since you stole the name of the card too.)

That really blows. They could've at least picked better stores. (hot topic? pshh, that's so 1997).

I've gone through this crap three times. THREE. it's a headache each time but if you need help with anything, or if they dont give you your money back, let me know and i'll walk you through what to do.

P.s. I could use some new jeans...... ♥

Oh my gosh, how freakin lame! They clearly don't even have the semi-redeeming quality of good taste in clothes. I'm so sorry and I hope that it all works out! Good luck!
