So, over the Summer 09 Create2Destroy headquarters sent me to Brazil on an important assignment of studying human anatomy. Knowing the dangers of the region I tried to resist the trip as much as I could, but it quickly became obvious that I was the only one up for the job. After all, the assignment required me to stay a block away from Ipanema beach. So I went.
What followed was 2 weeks full of torturous steak, terrifying beaches, life threatening hang gliding and horrible moped renting/club going. Not easy, take my word for it...... Not easy. And oh yea, I had to drink alot to, and eat my own body weight in Dulce de Leche.
Fast forward half a year. Yesterday my Chase bank card got denied. I just figured it was business as usual for my broke ass. But today when I checked the interwebs and my account showed a happy positive balance I knew there was trouble. Quick visit to a Chase branch, and I was seated in a bankers cubicle. I knew there was trouble. Did my shady past finally caught up with me? I have everyone's passports in a shoebox at home, I swear I was going to give them back to everyone tonight!
Long story short....some dude from Rio tried to withdraw 1100$ from my account. Yesterday. Damn. Chase quickly swooped in and denied the shady fuck. I had to cancel my card and get a new one! Wasted minutes and minutes of my time, I tell ya!
I was warned that when in Brazil I should make sure I see my card being swiped any time I used it. Never let it leave your hands. Otherwise they photo copy it or snap a picture and use it a little while later.
Dude waited like 6 months to pull that shit. How about it?
Watch your debit cards when traveling!
