    Last night i received a email TELLING me to send a payment of 2,000 dollars in bitcoins to a web site or email address, then, they threatened to plaster my name all over different web sites, porn sites, etc, etc. They stated I had 24 hrs to do this in or they would release all kinds of detrimental information about me. This happened after i requested a pass word change on a retail site. I called the retail sight, reported it to their security, and also a police dept 40 miles from here that showed a exact same incident happening to another person that town as well. Just a heads up, scammers are hard at work.

    My debit/cc had a bunch of fraudulent purchases on it today. Dealt with the fraud dept, signed affidavits that no one here made thousands of dollars worth of purchases, all from .51 cents to over a grand and everywhere in between. It's being investigated, no losses until after this clears. Investigator even saying I will need to look at pictures to confirm if I recognize the culprit. Many were online purchases

    Thats why I have never had a debt card, and if at all possible, I only use my atm card at my own banks machines. With my credit card, I make a call, and they handle it almost no questions asked. If they hit my debt card, I'm out that actual money in my checking acct in the meantime.

    That's what I'm going through, but once I'm proven to not have made the purchases, they've got it covered. This is a credit union we have in Pa, our main bank here in NH no fraud
