You are probably not liable for the charge. Call the bank, report the charge and get a new number.

all you have to do is go to your finical institution and get a charge back in place with visa and you will get the $ back. then you will need to block that card and get a new one . happened to me a couple months ago i got all the cash back the next day from my credit union.

My bank makes you fill out a lot of papers, and then they say "now we'll just wait and see what corporate has to say"...it's like, thanks for your time, now good bye...

Glad to see you have a good bank :)

Then get a good credit card when you turn 18 :)

I never use my debit card except for at POS and ATM's.

My PIN got stolen and my debit card copied a little while ago. Someone took almost $1000 from me. I just called up the bank, went in and signed a form saying it wasn't me and I got my money back the next day.
