are u getting worried

 

Nothing to worry about, banks and credit card companies cover fraud. I haven't carried cash for years.

 

they say that but you have to purcgase the protection....if im not mistaken

i dont like carring cash but i have cut back ob my atm use...

 

Seriously

If you're like me, u check your accounts multiple times a day

Bogus transactions can get reported to a bank's fraud department and ull probably be issued a new card, new account, new everything (plus banks generally have daily $$$ limits/pending transaction limbo where you can intervene before shit clears)

I'd rather take that chance than get mugged/lose a stack of hundreds out in the streets

Cornbread, if someone steals your cash....do you get reimbursed? Can it be tracked? You think your bank is gonna cover you when your wallet falls into a gutter

 

we will be going to virtual credit card numbers at some point...just like a check...one time use...my card was compromised a couple of weeks ago...capitalone canceled it and overnighted me a new card the next day...i carry cash so I have money to tip for valet, baggage guys at the airport but that is about it...

 

my name is biscuit...get it rite....;-)

i would rather lose twenty versus losing the main money....beside you still..may have to pay for the protection.

 

depends on the bank/cc company

You shouldn't have to pay for coverage.

 

Let's play a game, post a picture of your bank account and I will post mine so I can show you how broke I am.

 

big bank versus lil bank - ice cube.....no vaseline

 

Most peoples facebook account is worth more on the darknet than their bank account or credit card account anyway.
