What's the pulse of the American people, concerning aid to Ukraine?

[almostgone]

Since China and others have become part of the Ukrainian discussion, does anyone ever wonder if some of our enemies are responsible for all of the financial hacks that are occurring?

Here's a very minor incident . Just today, there were over $400 dollars pending ,(fraudulent charges) on the wife's debit card. The kicker is we keep the debit cards locked up and the charges were in NYC. On top of that, the last time she used her debit card was.....wait for it......NEVER. The only activity that card has seen is when she activated it when SunTrust became Truist.

It's gotten to the point that I'm going to take Kel's advice and keep all of our credit and debit cards locked,; then unlock them as needed.

It's got to be on SunTrust's/Truist's end of things since the card had only been activated and been stored securely.

We get fraudulent charges & have to change our credit card about once every year or if we’re lucky, two. Our bank and credit card company are generally on top of things & never had to pay.

Unfortunately, debit cards don't have the equal protections of credit cards. My credit card has been used on your side of the country. I've literally had the bank fraud department call me at home and asked me where I was. I had to point out the fact that they called me so they know where I'm at. Then they explained that at that very moment someone was racking up charges on my card in Cathedral City, Ca.

Debit cards are even worse. I've had it take over 5 months for resolution when my debit card was stolen out of our mailbox. Supposedly they say it takes less than 60 days to rectify it, but that's not the exact truth. They can claim " investigation difficulties" and string it out an additional ,80 days.

I will say Truist is reacting quicker than when it was SunTrust.

Yes, but then again, that’s what the book I mentioned earlier (UnRestricted Warfare) was about.

BTW, bummer about the card. It’s a new world & not necessarily a better one.
