Compromised account

Monday, I noticed some unusual transactions in my checking account. I checked out where they originated and could confirm that these payments were not mine. Calling my bank, I was told that these were ACH transactions, and I’d need to come into the bank, fill out the required paperwork, to stop the activity. I did that yesterday, and I closed that account and opened a new checking account. I then went through making sure my credit cards, investments, car insurance, were all linking to the proper bank account. I have a few more accounts to update; however, for the most part, I am finished. I check my accounts regularly, so this has rarely happened to me. Last week, I remembered receiving a few alerts from Lifelock (An identity theft company) that several sites were potentially compromised based on an application used by all those companies. I would not be surprised if that’s how the hackers accessed my information.   The last time I had unauthorized access to my checking account, it was similar. Thankfully, I could take care of it without any lost funds.

I’m looking forward to the three-day weekend. It’s been a busy work week; however, I cannot say that I mind it at all. I work remotely 100% of the time. I purposely positioned my office desk to have a fantastic view of the outdoors, and I look outside often.

Shop opening soon

I’m slowly creating items that I’ll release online. After that, I most likely will use Etsy and have the items featured on my website. There’s still a lot of behind-the-scenes work to complete, and I’m okay with that.

OMG! I’m so sorry to hear about the account issues. Glad you caught it quick. That’s so frustrating, tho! I’m looking forward to your Etsy Shop! I have “window shopped” there for years but never made a purchase. I didn’t want to screw anything up and also don’t have a PayPal account. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to make my first actual purchase be to your shop! I have a couple of gift cards I would like to try and save for the occasion! Let me know when it’s up! So exciting!

I have been blogging a lot more than usual. I’m finding peace in it. It’s been a rough couple of weeks, months, years. But I know YOU know that, too! Continued thoughts/prayers.
