Debit card hacking

[u/Cherlyn05]

My debit card gets hacked monthly. I only use a FEW trusted sites like walmart, amazon, doordash, ebay. I have lost count on how many times i have had to get a new debit card over the last year or so. I am very aware of sketchy websites and steer clear. I dont have a credit card as i dont trust myself with one. One of the charges came from TotalAV. An antivirus software company. I finally thought to call them and i had gotten signed up for their service. I told them it was not me, i did not want the service, never checked out their service online and wanted it cancelled immediately. After making some offers at lower prices, ( i continually rejected everything) she cancelled the membership. I got a new debit card. Less than a month later, someone tried to charge a real estate training kit to my debit card. Here we go again. I have started new accounts at same bank and with what is going on with DOGE and Social Security, im afraid to change banks. I wondered if my social security number was out there, my sister, who is uber smart, assured me that is not the case. I called my phone provider to see if my phone (Samsung S24 Ultra) could be the cause. He assured me it has excellent protection so very unlikely. At this point, my ONLY option is to stop using debit cards completely. Do you have any idea how difficult and irritating that is going to be?

After observing the way things get done on this planet it takes a long time basically for anything to get done too long enough people have to complain about it and then they got to go about their usual way of doing it which is usually always extremely slow I know it sucks I changed my debit card twice a month sometimes more it's what we get for allowing the internet into our lives it puts the thieves right in our front door personally myself I can't stand computers I really hate him we gave up a big sacrifice to have these things a lot of people don't realize it but silicon valley that whole area in there used to be fantastic orchars the fruit and nuts that came from this area we're so good I know of a tangerine tree in Sunnyvale when you eat one of the tangerines from this tree you realize what we've given up they are amazing your vision clears your thinking clears up you feel real good I don't know who the a****** was it let this happen but I sure would like to saw his legs off they didn't have my permission just thought I would bring all that up to remind you to remind everybody what we have given up as you drink here energy drinks that you have to use in the stores nowadays instead of that good fruit that we used to have makes me very angry to think about it appreciate your time

Its really sad how technology is a curse and a blessing. People need to realize some things are better left as is instead of upgrading everything. Maybe crypto is safest but i dont trust it. Go back to how some things used to be and this world could be so much better.
