I hate the term hacked. They use it for everything now, rarely was anyone
hacked
Most are probably phishing, usually done by the wife following a link from
pinterest or tiktok for some shit she should have been doing in the house
anyway
I got a fraud alert once, never cancelled the card cause F going through
changing everything. in the course of investigating it I found out my
name/ssn is associated with some address in New York, Im part owner of a
crack den or something, I dont know, New York can burn to the ground.
But another "hack" that occurs, is the pig wife tries making a bunch of
temu purchases and it flags as fraud because the volume of transactions.
Women dont have capacity for accountability so they deny any knowing, and
hubby has to fraud out the card and replace it
Or same swine lady tries to get in the online account but doesn tknow the
husband changed the password to "1JustWant2PaintTheCeiling" and locks the
account out
99 percent of the time, a set ov ovaries is involved. Take the estrogen out
of the finance, wed probably see much less fraud
IMHO
