My American bank account got hacked today. Luckily, I rec'd a call from the fraud department and was able to block the card and contain the damage to US$325.
They'll send a new card, which will take 7-10 days. Since there is no reliable mail service on the North Coast, the card will be sent to my US mailing address, and then my sister can FedEx it to me. I was able to link my AmEx card to my bank account and rec'd a temporary pin so I can use it to withdraw money.
I so seldom use my ATM card here! I should have known better. I never will again. The bastard ran up $200 at a gas station outside of Santo Domingo.
Don't use your ATM cards here!
