The boy who cried “fraud”

Posted: April 25th, 2006 | Author: amake | Filed under: Uncategorized | No Comments »

I just pulled a major stupid.

I was looking at my bank account online and noticed two ATM withdrawals that happenend in St. Paul and Minneapolis while I was at school in Madison. There was just no way it could have been me that made those withdrawals. So I called the bank up and talked to a teller, who opened a fraud case for me.

Then I got curious.

I put the ATM addresses listed online into Google Maps. Guess what? The MSP airport is technically in St. Paul. Guess what? The dates listed online can be a bit off, and the Minneapolis withdrawal was just two days after spring break.

Now I get to call the fraud investigation department and tell them how big an idiot I am. Go me.

The moral of the story is: Google >> Jesus.
