an investigation. Why do I think I am going to get totally hosed? I mean how screwed is this? Has this ever happened to anyone else?

(5,865 posts)Thanks for sharing. I don't like how they totally avoided using the phrase "temporary" reimbursement pending outcome of the investigation. They just said "reimbursement". Then, I got the email and it just has a totally different tone.

(153,243 posts)and the question WOULD YOU LIKE ANOTHER TRANSACTION on the screen? I replied no, took the card, proceeded with my transaction, and found the card owner later (he wasn't even aware he had left it)

Now our ATMs do a swipe thing. No more leaving the card in the slot. And it times out eventually.
