Internet warning

Be careful purchasing online. My sister-in-law, Maria was hit by a hacker while using her debit card to purchase uniforms for work on an official website. The thief cleaned out her bank account. They used it for online gambling and other purchases. If you order things online DO NOT USE a card that is tied to your bank accounts no matter if it says VISA or MASTERCARD on the front. One friend suggested using a credit card with a small limit (avoiding having them raise the limit despite the persistance of the credit card co.) just for online purchases. Poor girl will have to wait several days for this to be resolved. Thankfully, the bank was able to stop her direct deposit that was to post today!
