Just came home today and checked my bank details to find someone has ripped me off alot of $$ using my account details from a withdrawal made in victoria

so just a word to all the perth rippers to not go using your bank cards at fast food outlets or one off nb atms, cause it may happen to you as well!!!!!

end result -> 21 day waiting period for refunded money, two cancelled bank cards that will be reissued in 5 days, no financial withdrawals for 5 days from either of the accounts (ie broke) as well as a 2hr waiting period on the phone to sort all this S$%& out.....

big shout out to my sister for lending me some cash in the meantime so i can continue working and waiting for my money bank!

You don't need other theives. The ATM didn't give me my cash (yea, it does happen!) but took it out of my account. This was before the long weekend as well.

And no, the bank haven't given it back yet either!

My tip: Always cover your pin or pretend to hit some other buttons when punching it in (put two hands on the keypad) - and look over your shoulder for people / cameras, etc. And don't write it down anywhere - the bank will ask you this if you ever have any issues!
