So this entry is one that I just feel like whining to someone (like anyone actually reads this). I’m not going to talk about where I went, post any pictures or talk about the people that I met. Instead I’m going talk about how I hate people right now. Let me tell you a little story. Today, I was running a little low on cash and decided to make sure that I had enough for the trip to the airport tomorrow I’d get about 20 Pounds out. I stop at an ATM and my card is rejected for Insufficient Funds. I know that’s not right so I try a different ATM and get the same results, then I decide to try a different card, and the same thing, “Insufficient Funds.” Now I’m starting to feel a little embarrassed, how could I go through all the money in my account, it just didn’t make sense, no sense at all from memory at least. So I get back to the hostel and check my account and it appears that since August 4th I’ve been removing the maximum amount out I could. But not only am I taking the maximum, I’m also using ATMs in Cairo and Sophia, Bulgaria which is kind of funny because I haven’t been to either of those cities this year. So yeah, I was… I don’t know what to call it, robbed, defrauded, or whatever it’s called, my main account has been drained of all funds. I still have a little in savings, but I’m just sick right now.

So I called my bank over skype to try to get some clarification on the transactions and did cancel that card, and started to dispute the transactions, but the connection was so bad and I was getting disconnected so often that I decided that I’d wait until tomorrow when I can go into the bank when I’m actually in the US. I won’t get into the amount taken, but there appears to be something like 15 transactions that are fraudulent.
