Was anyone involved with the fraud that is going on in Bobs Department stores. My daughter who is at college called me today to tell me there is a lot of online charges made to her account that she did not make. She called the bank and they told her because she had make debit purchases from Bobs that someone got her debit card #. I had read about that and had told her last month to watch her statement after reading it. Needless to say she has closed out that account but she had just deposited $500.00 in there on Saturday to buy books and it is now gone. The bank told her she might never get that money back. This was scholarship money. I have to charge her books for her because I don;t have it. Has anyone had this problem? Have any advice.

Fraud
I use to work at a bank. You daughter can go to the bank and tell them she wants to dispute the charges that she did not make. The bank has to then deal with Big Bobs and get it resolved. It may take a while, but usually it turns out good. Also if this does not work tell her to contact the better business burea she can do this on line.
It's not fraud sm
If we didn't have insurance, they would have to pay the full bill. This is not fraud.
If you must know, the money would go in our daughter's college fund, and NOT our bank account.
UPDATES ON FRAUD
My daughter just called. She went to the bank , they gave her back at the 75 dollars that was because she was overdrawn but it was not her fault. She filled out forms and they told her it will take time but she will get it back. They set her up with a whole new checking/debit card. The only thing is they told her she did not need my name on it and even took my name off her savings. I don't like that idea because if I need to transfer money over to her or something happens to her I cannot access that count. She is only 18. I will have to explain all that to her at another time. It is kind of hard when she is in MA and I am in CT. Thanks again for everyones help
Need advice, please - is this fraud?
Interesting what can come to us in the mail. My hubby had gone to a gastroenterologist last year, his first visit, and had been scheduled for a colonoscopy. I didn't have a good feeling about the doc, as he came in for three minutes, did no exam to speak of and the $300 bill danged near beat us home!! I cancelled the scope and we moved on. This was back in October ག.
Today, guess what? In the mail comes a letter stating that he had missed his scheduled appointment for 10/23/06 and now owes this doctor $100!!!! Well, firstly, I cancelled the appt. Secondly, it is nine months since he supposedly missed this appt. Nine MONTHS!! I am kind of wondering if perhaps this is some way of the doc's office trying to squeeze money out of folks. Would this be fraud, do you think?????
I will be calling the doc's office tomorrow to see what their explanation about this is - I think I actually may ask them if it is some kind of joke. Anyhow, just wondered if anyone had ever experienced this sort of thing before.
Thanks in advance.

This, I think, falls under the fraud category
There are people who use an illness or even a fake one to gather money like this. Some are prosecuted. Who are you to judge? Don’t know there but I would judge and say pretty lousy person, jerko, underhanded, dishonest and a few more I know cannot post on this board.
EBAY QUESTION POSSIBLE FRAUD sm
I bought something on ebay for $12.00. I got the notice saying your charge card will be charged. It has been 10 days and the seller has not emailed to tell me when it will be shipped. I have emailed her once a day for 10 days with no response. How do you report this to Ebay so I don't get charged?
Thanks.
Sick of disability/insurance fraud?
I am. I'm tired of playing by the rules and paying through the nose. I'll happily wear a red shirt with whistleblower painted all over it. I am minding my business, my tax money and my future.
I think names of individuals receiving federal/state/VA disability funds should be made public. I'm sure psych advocates will have a cow, but actually psych is one of the most abused disability diagnoses. I'd be willing to say forego psych patients and just list those with physical disability receiving money. Oh yes, I know it's subjective. Just like I know the guy receiving all kinds of money while taking morphine for "back pain" and riding his motorcyle. 
Common sense would not hurt - how about anyone receiving disability income specifically for a back injury should not be issued a motorcycle license/insurance. I'd appreciate hearing any measures you think would work.
Please save the indignation over loss of privacy - I'm talking about federal and state money that comes out of the taxpayer's pockets. I'll bet everyone on this forum can name someone they know is getting money they don't deserve. If you don't agree, you must not be in that age group that will retire with zero SS funds left or perhaps won't be one of the population who needs and deserves disability income and will never see it. I hope it does not happen to you.
i care about child abuse, welfare fraud, and
dumping of young males to the streets, so they lessen the competition for the multi-wife thing. This is all well-documented. This is not about just polygamy -- which is also against the law, but its the abuse of children and abuse of our welfare system -- all under the banner of religion. If it was just about men taking multiple ADULT wives, the government would not likely have stepped in to even enforce that law.
