Teri Hatcher’s ATM card is stolen

by Marilyn Porter

Teri HatcherTeri Hatcher thought she had simply misplaced her ATM card. So when she called up the bank to cancel the card and see about getting issued another, she was told that someone had been using the heck out of it. Talk about a shock!

“I called to cancel it and was actually stolen… I don’t use it much, so they had rung up $12,000. They did 90 different transactions and I know that because for every single fraud thing you have to sign out a whole slip that says, ‘No, I wasn’t at Joe’s Diner, spending $20 on chilli.’ There were a lot of trips to Albertsons in the Valley, Vons, Longs Drugs, lots of little purchases. I think that’s probably how they get away with it. It dawned on me as I was doing this that in 90 times of them giving the card, nobody ever went, ‘Teri Hatcher…’ I was really kinda freaked out that that could happen.”

I can see how that would happen with an ATM card, since no one really looks at those for signatures or even if you’re the name on the card. A debit card would have been another story (and probably why I vastly prefer my check card to my ATM card). Still, this is a huge bummer for Teri and I imagine has been quite a headache to deal with.
