Alicia and Justin had the worst thing happen to them today. All summer long, Alicia had held on to her wedding gift checks - even though I kept nagging her to get them cashed so people could balance their checkbooks, but she wanted to use them for their honeymoon. So she was determined and stubborn and did not cash them until last Saturday.
they went to the bank and put her name on Justin's accounts and they put their well-loved and hoarded wedding money into their savings account for their honeymoon next Wednesday.
this morning they checked their bank account, and some crooks had somehow charged some fraudulent check card activities (there were several - totalling with the bank charges and such, close to $2,000). Completely wiped out everything in their savings account, their overdraft account and their checking account. They had the money in their for a total of 4 days before it was all stolen.
They are both completely crushed. The troopers said some other people in Anchor Point have been targeted as well. We don't know yet if they are doing it thru the bank, or thru the mail or thru the internet, so we don't know how to proceed to pay our bills or anything, and of course, they now have no spending money for their honeymoon and their first Christmas.
Please say a special prayer for them and pray that they will get the money back in time to go on their trip. (they have their tickets paid for and the car paid for, so that isn't in doubt that they will come, it just won't be as fun with this hanging over their heads. ) Thanks, Charlotte

Oh! how sad. Isn't there any recourse.? it must be an inside job a the bank. I will keep all of you in our prayers. What a wicked and desperate world it is sometimes.Hold each other close and work on forgiving those who are all so thoughtless and cruel.

How sad... We hope the bank can refund the money once they figure out what's going on. That is really sad. Hope it doesn't stop the honeymoon trip.
