What a Weekend

 

          Oh my goodness, what a weekend. I was the victim of one and then almost two crimes. First one I almost experienced was this creepy guy approaching me in his car in the parking lot as I was heading into work. It was literally about forty feet from the ER entrance. This sketchy looking guy kept trying to get me to help him into the ER. He was not old or feeble looking. He looked in his 30's and healthy. He kept saying he was having a heart attack. Well he was conscious, alert, and there was nothing I could do for him in the parking lot, so I directed him to drive over to the ER entrance. He kept insisting he could not do that. No reason I could see that he couldn't. So I just said sorry, reiterated go to ER, and I went into work. I did stop at security desk to tell them to go check on the guy, but he had already disappeared. Not a chance am I going to get myself in a situation where I could be kidnapped. When I first started working at this hospital a nurse was kidnapped in the parking lot. I am not going to let that happen to me.

          The second crime was somebody hacked into my Walmart/Capital One credit card and ordered $490.78 worth of stuff. Only reason I noticed it so quickly was I tried to use my Walmart app and I couldn't get in. So I checked credit card site online and saw the crazy charge and immediately called both Capital One and Walmart to file a fraud alert. Both companies were great. They both said they would not charge me for the amount. So I am not out the money, but I do have the hassle of closing the accounts and having to get all new cards. My son noticed the amount was $10 short of the thresh hold to it being an actual crime the police would investigate. Whoever did it most likely was checking to see if it would get noticed before trying something bigger.  I am so thankful I was out of coffee creamer because that it what led me to wanting to place order and discovering it so fast. God was watching out for me big time this weekend :)
