Today, after my two credit cards were stolen, thousands were charged before I could cancel. The thief dropped nearly $1,000 at Juicy Couture, so she/he is somewhere laughing at me in a magenta, rhinestoned "leisure suit." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out my credit card was maxed out to the penny, all thanks to purchases made on an online wine store. Apparently my mother was thirsty enough to steal from her own son. FML
Today, I was shopping in an upscale store. As I was changing, I heard one of the snobby saleswomen say to mine "You shouldn't bother. She isn't going to buy anything." Determined to "show her", I purchased everything I'd tried on. It came to around $500. My credit card was declined. FML
Today, I found that there were charges of almost 2,000 dollars on my bank account. Some asshole in Florida stole my money. I have bills and that was money I saved to buy myself a new car. FML
Today, someone stole my coat. I can only imagine their surprise when they find the $3,000 engagement ring I bought earlier. FML
Today, I found out my husband has racked up $3000 on our credit cards, and ruined my credit score. When confronted, all he had to say was, "Well you didn't tell me when you bought that ten-dollar t-shirt, so I guess we're even." FML
Today, I finally paid off the massive debt on my credit card. I came home only to find that almost everything I owned had been repossessed an hour before I paid the debt. FML
Today, I found out my identity was stolen. The person got credit cards in my name and didn't pay the bills, which has ruined my near perfect credit. The worst part about all of this is that I can't turn the person in. It's my mom, and sending her to jail wouldn't really work out for anyone. FML
Today, while at the mall, a lady dropped her credit card while in line to buy something. I came over, picked it up and gave it to her just for her to shove it in my hand and scream, "She's stealing my wallet! My wallet!" The police came. FML
Today, I finally picked up my new bank card after my old one was stolen. It took the bank six weeks and five separate orders to figure it out, on top of which they've charged me a rush fee. FML
Today, I had to dump my girlfriend because of tons of trust issues that kept reappearing. Shortly afterwards, my credit card disappeared and I got to experience my first identity theft. All within 24 hours. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

you can totally contest that. no store should allow someone to use a credit card for that much without checking the signature and ID. if they don't verify the ID, contest it with the credit card company and if they can't do anything, you can sue the store.

I am sure you can get the money back, because similar thing happened to me just with fraud and I called my banker explained the issue and after a week or so I got my money back.

FYI I work for Juicy Couture and believe me you can drop a grand and not buy a single tracksuit. Secondly I always write "see ID" on my cards because by signing a card, you're giving permission for it to be used by anyone in possession of it. when I ask people for ID they love to give me attitude until I point out I'm not accepting an unsigned card without ID, then theyre all "happy" I'm looking out for them.

29, signing a card doesn't authorize anybody to use it [unless you're living in some weird state, providence or country with no actual security concerns]. It just validates a card - Frankly, an unsigned card isn't even supposed to be accepted at all, but very few people sign their cards and very few people take this seriously. You still have every right to refuse a suspicious sale, regardless of if an ID is signed or not - Nor, does somebody who steals my card have the right to use it just because I follow the guidelines my credit card company hands out by signing my card.

I'm gonna tell you this story, because I know you care. My crazy Asian mother-in-law bought us a Juicy Couture baby booties & hat set for our baby girl. I thought it was ridiculous, and they never fit properly, so it was even more pointless. The end.

When you use credit at Juicy, they always ask for ID.....YDI. stop losing your cards.

Obviously this time they didn't, or else the OP wouldn't have gotten a $1000 purchase on their card that wasn't made by them. Durr. There is no way they deserve it.

Or the FML could be fake. OP lost their cards, they do deserve it.

Maybe they didn't buy a track suit, but bought a bunch of accessories, including bags and such (which I'm sure could add up very fast) to re-sell for a cheaper price on the street. Gotta love those stupid velvety sweat suits though, ugh... So nasty. FYL for having to deal with credit card fraud :(

I'm going to repeat part of my comment to #4 since it's germane: OP is in the US, which means that the liability for a stolen credit card is limited to $50 by federal law. So OP is out $100 max. Still, that sucks.

Do people even where those tracksuits? They're so tacky... I love Juicy though. Some of their clothes are really cute. And their accessories. :D

It'd never happen with my card - one I don't have that much money left to spend and my c/card company automaticly block large purchases without prior notice. Some comfort eh lol
