FML

I signed up for a thing online that is supposed to analyze your spending for market research. They were supposed to give me a $50 amazon GC for participating. I read the privacy policy and all. Now my bank account is overdrawn $-9,999,673.04. I gave them my freaking password. Now it seems so completely stupid, but it seemed legit at the time. I usually consider myself pretty careful online but obviously not this time. Now I can't even find the name of the "company" I signed up for. Be careful out there ladies.

    Are you sure you didn't make a large purchase that you're just forgetting about? Lol. I hope you are able to get this resolved quickly. How stressful. Keep us posted. ETA: I'm not LOLing at your situation, I really do feel terrible for you! I thought about how that sounded after I posted!

    Wait, is that almost 10 million dollars????  I don't think I've ever seen that number in real life.

    Oh Blayne, how awful.  Is the bank helping you get this resolved or anything?

    Oh no :( I hope that gets figured out very fast. How can a bank even allow that much to be withdrawn??

    OMG. Tell me this is a prank on us.  I hope this gets fixed fast. I too am surpised the bank allowed that big of a withdrawl to happen.

    Unless of course you make these kinds of purchases on a normal basis...

    LOL... No I don't make these kinds of purchases regularly. DH got everything straightened out with our joint account. The $10 million number was what the bank texted to me about my personal account. I have it set up to text me so I don't overdraft. DH said I have to go in to see about mine which I won't be able to do until Friday. I don't really think there was money taken out, I think it's just something they do when they freeze it, but I'm locked out from looking online so I don't know.

    Anyway the company is called Consumer Say, and if I would have just done a simple google search I would have found out they are a scam. Stay far far away! I don't know why I thought for a second it was ok to give out my password anyway. Lesson learned.

    That's crazy!  What kind of scammers try to withdraw $10mil anyway?  Do they really think that's going to work?

    I hope you get this sorted out ASAP.  Don't beat yourself up too much.  It happens to the best of us.

    This!

    I can't believe your bank would allow transactions for 10 mil to go through, you would think they would get suscpicous after a couple mil!
