freebie

i was napping on the couch on saturday when i was woken up by my phone. i saw the number was not one i recognized, so i went back to sleep. about half an hour later, i get up and see that the unknown number has left message. it was a recorded voice, saying that my debit card had been cancelled and to go to my nearest bank to get a new one. since i was going out that night, i figured i should get my ass to the bank.

turns out i was a victim of debit card skimming. the jerks made a total of 3 separate transactions - 2 $100 withdrawals and then, get this, $1000 deposit.

i went to the bank and they refunded my $200. they gave me a new bank card and i went on my way. i just checked my bank account and the $1000 is still in there.

so, do i get to keep it???
