Wow. Sorry that happened to you. As you know, the bank will refund the money. You are fortunate that you caught it so quickly. I now make it a habit to look at my accounts every morning over a cup of coffee. It only takes a few minutes and it is one of the benefits of on line banking.

Several years ago ... about 10-12, we had a box of checks (remember those) stolen from the mail. Somone made a fake DL and was writing checks at stores all over. None were just cashed. All purchases were under $1,000. This went on for probably 3 weeks until checks started to bounce. This was back went I traveled internationally a lot and the bank branch knew me and I had overdraft approval on the account, so they kept clearing them. They finally left me a voice mail when the overdraft balance reached almost $20K and said we wanted to check with you since the overdraft amount was getting high and we have not seen you do this before. While I got the money back, what a hassle with calls and affidavit's I had to sign and had to send a letter and a copy of the police report to each credit agency. After that I removed overdraft approval on my account.
