On Sunday I checked my account and saw a pending charge for $98 from Walmart.com W+ 8009666546, on my debit card. I called that number and got a bunch of ads (like for life alert and medicaid/medicare, and at a couple of points I thought I was talking to a real person, but it was just a REALLY convincing recording).
So the next day I went to my bank to get the charge disputed, cancel my card, and get a new one printed. I was able to cancel my card and they printed me a new one on site with new numbers, and I also set a new pin, just to be in the safe side. As for the charge, they said they couldn't do anything until the pending charge actually posted onto my account.
In the meantime I decided to look up a different number for Walmart customer service than the one I saw on my statement (the number I got from their site was 833-235-2112). They told me they weren't seeing any charge on their end so they couldn't do anything.
Today (Tuesday, Oct 5th, 2021) I noticed the charge had been posted to my account, so I called the same customer service number I got from the Walmart website, but they said they still weren't seeing any charges on their end.
So then I called my bank again, they looked into the charge and said that MY PIN HAD BEEN USED!! Which I don't understand cuz it was online and they don't ask for a pin online! (as far as I know) I was just glad that I'd decided to change my pin as well, so I didn't have to worry about that.
I just can't understand how they got ANY of my info, let alone my freakin PIN. Currently in the process of getting the charge reversed with my bank so I can get my money back. They said it'll be about 2 weeks tho (we'll, 7-10 business days. which is basically 2 weeks so ¯_(ツ)_/¯) Fingers crossed it all works out 🤞🏽
