Phew! That was close...though the last couple of days were a wild ride on the roller coaster of a fraudulent withdrawal of funds from our checking account, we have resolved the issue peacefully and completely (we think).
We were lucky. When a large charge that we didn't initiate showed up on our checking account, my husband and I flew into a frenzy of phone calls and emails to stop the charge before it went through, but as you know if you read my previous post, to no avail. Bank said, "Sorry. The charge stays; dispute it when the funds are fully withdrawn from the account."
It turns out, we were not electronically held-up by a masked hacker who'd sinisterly snatched our card information from some undisclosed source; instead, we were the victims of an innocent (?) mistake by a reputable company who immediately recognized its error (after two phone calls and an email) and corrected the situation (24 hours later).
Aaahh. (That's the sound of me and my husband breathing a simultaneous sigh of relief.)
Thankfully, we learned a great lesson and didn't have to pay too big a price for it.
