Fraud

I am a little nervous.

I checked my banking account online this morning and there seems to be a deposit made by someone else into my account. Its very strange. It looks as though the bank gave out a deposit slip with my account numbers on it to a certain person who then made a deposit. They wrote my account number beneath their name (which sort of looks like mine). The name seems to say "Andre W Olmmsmsmsms" I honestly can't read the handwriting. But this really spooks me! I know its a deposit, not a debit, but why did the bank give out my information to this person. Perhaps this person forgot their account number, but if they did the bank should have requested to see their ID and then given them the correct number--NOT MINE. I am confused and nervous.

I called my bank immediately and they said they would look into it and give me a call later today. With today's constant warnings against identity fraud, one can only jump to conclusions. I hope this is a simple mistake and no harm done. We shall see.

Ok--The bank called to say that it had been an error on the teller's part. I think they should let me keep the money based on the stress-induced coma I endured for the better part of 2 hours. Yea!

I went back to myspace and imported a few of my old blogs to this blog. I have created a permanent residence here in the land of the blogger. The End.
