Also on the topic of things that recently happened.
I used google for a lot of stuff. All my gaming accounts were google tied via emails etc.. Well somehow, someone hacked into my accounts somewhere and got my debit card info. They even used my PIN number at a Lowes in another state. They ended up getting 700$ off that. I got that money back but had to get new card. In my panic, frustration and anger, I deleted ALL my google accounts. POOF!!
Side effect - all my gaming accounts were tied to them, so currently on brand new accounts. All my characters over 15 years of gaming, gone. Oh well. Time to start new and enjoy the experience!
After all that, my new debt card got hacked as well. This time from Paypal.... somehow I was still getting stuff hacked..
So this time I turned in my Samsung Note8 and bought a new iPhone Xr. Done with google. At least on those accounts
I have a couple google accounts that have no debit card info attached to it. But what a hassle and it took weeks to get my money back. In the end between the two hacks, they took 2k from my account. I was beyond upset. But, in the end, prob my fault. Now I use a few accounts only and all have different passwords.

If someone was so set on hacking your accounts, they may have more information on you then what you realize. I'd recommend downloading Credit Karma app to keep track of any hits your credit may take! I also would call Transunion and Equifax and place a hold on your credit until things die down. Of course you can't apply for any cards or loans at that time, but it will also keep others from doing the same. I hope this mess passes over for you! That's frustrating to say the least.

Indeed it was a pain. I just don’t know how they got my card PIN number. That’s odd to me. I did a credit check and nothing strange but a credit freeze maybe a good thing to do.
