Description
I unfortunately fell for the "At Home Store Going Out of Business Sale" posted on Facebook Marketplace and regrettably placed 2 separate orders back-to-back, one using my personal debit card and the second one for my business using my business debit card. They also had my credit card information as I tried to make both purchases using my credit card initially, but kept getting an error message which prompted me to then use my debit cards instead. Fortunately for my credit card I used a one-time use virtual card which I discovered the scammer had assigned to them to use again, and was able to cancel the virtual card info so that they wouldn't be able to actual charge anything on it later. Unfortunately, I had to cancel my personal and business debit cards and after reporting the fraudulent charges I am seeing on my both checking accounts.
