At almost 1:00 AM this morning, I got a text alert from my bank’s debit card provider letting me know of potential fraudulent activity. Walmart was attempting to charge $98.00. The transaction was declined until I authorize it as legit.
Before authorizing, I logged into my Walmart account to see what the $98 was for and found it to be my yearly plus membership. About to let the bank’s provider know it was ok to pay, I got the exact same notice via email from my Apple credit card. Right after that, I received the same fraud suspect notice from my Chase credit card, and a few minutes later the same message from yet another Visa.
Walmart was trying to grab that $98 from every card I’ve ever used to purchase from them online!
At 7:00 AM, I get a call from the bank’s debit card provider. They’ve locked down my card until I call them because they don’t know if the card’s been stolen. Walmart’s opened Pandora’s box because they WANT THEIR $98!!
Crazy that the only way I know Walmart has its fat fingers inside every account I’ve ever used there is because their website says they tried to collect and will attempt to collect it again. No email notification from them!
So once I verify it as legit from one financial institution and tell the others not to pay it… those other alternate card companies will want to cancel their cards and issue new numbers.
All this because Walmart NEEDS THAT $98!!
Just as badly as Walmart needs $98 bucks, Merida needs Dharma back in the house…
See Dharma snubbing her? That’s how I feel about you right now, Walmart. ðŸ˜
TIL (today I Learned): NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar agreed to appear in the movie “Airplane!” on the condition he be paid $35,000… the exact price of a rug he wanted to purchase.
