I feel so violated

I've been hacked. Or rather, someone, somehow acquired my old credit card number and has been on quite a spending spree this week. I received an email and text message alert from Discover last night and called this morning after looking at my activity on line. Funny enough, the transaction they were questioning was fine. It was the other 4 or 5 that *I* questioned that were not.

This leads me back to my old motto that people, in general, suck. Seriously. I've really, really tried to be optimistic and positive and all sunshine-y (relatively speaking, life hasn't exactly made it easy in the past year or so), but every time I turn around, people just suck. The concept of stealing someone's credit card info/identity etc absolutely baffles me - how is this okay for anyone's set of morals and values ? And don't tell me that the poor and unfortunate need to survive, too - they don't need netflix, geico or bestbuy to "survive" (all real charges on my old account) and I didnt work my arse off to get to the point where I could support those who didn't bother.

For that matter, Discover changed account numbers on us about a year ago. A real PIA since any auto billings had to be changed and I had to memorize a whole new set of numbers. Why on earth wouldn't they have closed out the old number ?? Instead, it was automatically billed through to the new account - so why did we change numbers at all !?!?

Sigh. Common sense and common decency is at a low these days. I am starting to wonder what I did in a prior life that I'm being punished for. Whatever it was, I'm sorry !! I'll never do it again !!

There's only so much of life a girl can take at one time.
