Recently, my debit card number was compromised and over $3000.00 of fraudulent charges were made on-line to my checking account.
When fifth-third bank noticed the activity they shut down my debit card, but not till after many purchases were made. Then they DID NOT notify me of their action. I found out the next day when I tried to make a local purchase with my card and it was rejected.
The let a $1000.00 purchase go through that was made the day after they claim to have locked my account.
Now... I did have 5/3 overdraft portection, which is simply a credit card account so they can charge you interest on overdrafts.
After all the fraudulent transactions posted they charged $1800.00 in overdrafts against the credit card account... Even though I have filed disputes for over $3000.00 in fraudulen transactions. And they charged me $9.00 to transfer those fraudulent overdrafts to the credit card.
BTW, I did get a letter from 5/3 four days after the fact, telling me there was suspicious activitiy on my account and not to use my card. DUH!!! I have been on the phone with them for the four days leading up to receiving their too little too late letter.
Don't walk... Run as fast as you can away from 5/3 bank
