my identity was stolen.... sort of!

That is an excellent bank. Thank goodness it was discovered before the BIG charges started.
Bruce had something similiar happen a couple months ago. The amount was a bit larger though, but it was resolved fairly easily.

Something like this happened to my mom, she got charged $40.00 from I forgot where. The bank resolved it quickly though .

That's great that your bank put a stop to before it got out of hand!

Boy, are you ever lucky! And kudos to your bank for their vigilance. The criminals weren't so cautious w/my son's bank account last year. They charged several thousand dollars worth of airline tickets to England. The bank reimbursed him immediately; he closed the account and opened another one and it happened again the very next day! So get this: the bank tried to hold my son responsible because it happened twice. He said "Uh, hey! I told you to flag my account for any suspicious activity, especially after it just happened to me once already. This is not my fault." They actually made him send them a copy of the papers that he had to sign in order to close his first account and they told him that if they didn't receive it w/in 24 hours by certified mail, they would hold him responsible. Of course, he complied but begrudgingly, plus he had to close that account, too, and go through all the hassle. At that point, I would've changed banks but he said that he feared that it would look suspicious on his part. Nice. He was victimized twice, then again by the bank by being made to feel like he had done something wrong when he clearly had not.
