The scam continues

Turns out someone's been using my debit card to purchase items on the internet (including the Magic Jack) and something at a store in Pennsylvania (the card information was keyed in there). The bank put a block on the card, which I discovered when attempting to purchase refill pages for my planner. (I love my Franklin planner!) Anyway, not much damage done to our accounts -- under $50 of stuff was fraudulently purchased. Kudos to Wells Fargo for figuring out something funny was going on.

So, was this related to the calls I got today, where someone was signing me up for stuff? I wouldn't think the timing was a coincidence.

Now I just need to survive a week or so without a debit card, while they send me a new one.

I'm getting scammed!

I've been getting a bunch of calls here at work today from a variety of companies. Seems like someone has gotten a hold of my name, home address & work phone number, and is signing me up for a bunch of stuff (so far, security systems, satellite TV, investment funds). The only thing that doesn't match my info is the email address. That one ain't mine.

Has anyone heard of anything like that, and if so, what's the point of doing it? Other than to annoy me. :)
