I'm Really Not That Stupid in Hi

Then again, I guess I am.

Sunday I got a text from my bank saying my account was on hold. Immediate fear and dread. So I followed the link to identify myself and correct the problem. (Don’t EVER do that). They asked so many questions to verify my identify and I answered them all. When I got to the end of the rabbit hole there was nothing for me to look at.

It was a hoax.

I gave them EVERYTHING. I am ashamed to tell you what all I gave them. They could go right now and do anything they want to steal my identify. We are not rich, but I do have a perfect credit rating. I’ve worked hard all my life to keep it that way and now, I just give it away,

I know better than to do this. I’m not senile yet! Or am I? I kept thinking, but it’s my bank!!
Right!!

Now I have a mess on my hands. I had to close our checking account and open a new one. All of our income and all of utilities and other payments come out automatically.

So far I have bought a membership in Lifelock. I’m trying to contact everyone. I feel so overwhelmed. My husband was remarkably understanding after the initial lecture. I am not sleeping well.

This morning I find the bank reversed two payments I made on Friday night. They were fine yesterday but not today!

Learn from me. Don’t make my mistake.
