So sorry this happened to you guys. You may have been the best people since you honestly were right on top of it and you stayed on top of it. I am so glad you shared all of this. I have always said no to saving my cc info when I buy items and tickets I have always said one time purchasee but over the last month I just started saying yes they can save them ugh I am changing all that now. Ron and I just said it's time to change our pass words now. All your tips were amazing! Great Job Original RV America you are the best!!!
Thank you. One of our biggest mistakes was using the same password. Once Google was hacked, it was over. We had to try to stay on top of the fires. It was crazy. We feel very blessed in all of this. We are still waiting for the phone refund. Amazon is very slow. Hope you're having a great week. 😊
This is awful! Why don’t people use their time for good rather than stealing from others! 😡😡😡 that is absolutely crazy how much they were stealing from you! I’m going immediately to check our accounts! I don’t do that nearly enough. Thanks for the reminder/tips and glad you got it all worked out!
We totally agree. Think of all the good they could do. We learned a lot from this. For sure. We feel blessed that they didn't get more. Safe travels. 😊
Wow! I'm so sorry this happened to you. I'm so glad you were able to cancel the Walmart order so close to pick up. So scary. I didn't get hacked, but someone had opened three bank accounts in my name. I had to go to the bank and make a police report. I'm 44 years old and I have never been into a police station until that happened... lol. Great tips... Thanks so much for sharing. 😊
That's crazy. Wow. We really hope that we don't find out later that they have used our identity for something like that. It's all so scary. If only they would use their talents for good and not evil. Glad you were able to get yours corrected. Have a blessed week. 😊
Thanks for sharing your story. That’s crazy. After watching your video yesterday I put the notifications and purchase alerts on both my bank card and credit card. Interesting thing is that about 30 minutes after putting on the alerts. We had a $50 purchase on Amazon. It wasn’t from us so and we had to approve or deny. So it got denied. Not sure who it was but y’all saved us $50. Safe travels. Tom & Donna
Oh my gosh. I'm so glad you caught it. You can also put 2 step notifications on your Amazon account. We have added it everywhere possible. We hope it will help. Thanks for joining us. 😊
A good reminder for me to make some changes on our phones and computer. We are pretty good about turning off our credit and debit cards until we need them. Now we can all breath a sigh of relief.
Wow! So thankful to hear everything worked out to get your money back. But what a nightmare! We did away with PayPal and EBay quite some time ago. We had bad issues with both. Also great tips to pass along and share. God bless y’all..😮🙏
We did away with eBay, but still have PayPal. But we have changed how we use it. We may end up doing away with it as well. We feel very blessed to have come out of this as good as we did. Have a blessed week. 😊
Just one point on Two Step. Switch off your Google Two Step before resetting your phone. I did not do this last night and it caused no end of trouble. Glad you got sorted and what a great set of advice. Two Step is back on now phone is sorted.
That’s awful, but glad y’all were able to get that taken care of so quickly. It pays to be alert. I had someone get to my Kohls card through their reward program. Talk about canceling both so quickly it would make your head spin. I caught it quickly too. The vacuum cleaner hadn’t even been delivered yet. They reimbursed me, but I was hoping for a sting operation where they stacked out the delivery site and FBI’d them as it was being delivered. No such luck. Think the people just got a free vacuum from Kohls. At least I didn’t pay for it. Great tips.
That's terrible. We are like you and wanted a sting operation. They could have totally caught the guy at Walmart picking up the computer. They didn't. It's all just crazy. Hope all is well with you guys and we see you soon. Safe travels. 😊
Nothing we hate worse than a thief. Ughhh. We got our debit card hacked about 10 years ago. Somebody in OK City was using our card to buy gift cards. Luckily our bank got us our money back fast
Wow, guys, what a pain. We already have done most of the items on your list. What worries is how they got into your google account. Ok need to keep a better eye on the notifications from the bank.
We can't figure out how they got into our Google account. That is the strangest thing. We think we have everything else pretty well set up and protected now. And I really watch those messages from the bank. Have a great week.😊
I have to say I thought paypal was safe to him. I am really learning different. Thanks so much for joining us and for all your comments. They are really helpful.
Tara's PayPal got it last year. Fortunately the bank denied it but PayPal never would reverse it on their side. PayPal has really become useless. Speaking of which, I need to cancel mine. Sounds like a scary scary ordeal you guys have endured. I hope these ordeals are over for the both of us.
Oh man. I thought PayPal was supposed to be safe. I had no idea it was so easy to hack. I hope it's over for the both of us too. Have a blessed week. 😊
One thing i do is to use a cc thats not connected to my bank account and don't do any online banking. I dont even check my balance online. That's what i was thinking they had your email account because you should get a notification if you do a ordered. Yeah i never save my password. That local part was pretty scary. I hope they investigate that lady in the apartment. Thank you for sharing that was just stressful watching this.
two step verification sometimes can thwart would be hackers. at least you may get a text or a message that would alert you . i think hackers is why they started that two step thing/?
Oh no! It sounds like God was watching out for you! Great tips for others to avoid this! 🥰
We think we are the most blessed people in the world. God was definitely looking over us. Have a great week. 😊
Scary stuff 😱 great tips 👍
We feel blessed to be able to catch what we did. Safe travels. 😊

I hate a thief. Im glad y'all were able to get on top of everything.
So are we. We were very blessed. It could have been so much worse. Have a great week. 😊
wow sharing this with hubby and my community and fb
Please do. It is really scary what some people are up to. We hope this helps to save others from what we went through. Have a great week 😀

Oh no! We are so sorry this happened to y'all! Glad y'all were able to find out and put a stop to it before it got worse! ~ Shion and Matthew
Thank you. We are blessed that we were able to catch them and put a stop to it before it got worse. It was a crazy few days. Save travel's friends.
Great tips and glad it wasn't as bad as it could be. So weird with your Google account.
Thanks. We totally agree. We still haven't figured out how they got into the Google account. Safe travels. 😊
So sorry this happened to you guys! Thank you for the tips to avoid getting hacked. God was really watching over you! -Michelle
He really was. We feel very blessed. Have a great weekend. 😊

That stinks. Hate that you have ro go through that. Safe travels!

Wow I hate to hear that. Good thing you guys caught it early.
It's a very good thing we caught it early. Such a blessing that way things worked out. Thanks so much for joining us.

Crazy! Hate it that that happened to you two. Hopefully we all can learn from this
We hope so. We wouldn't want anyone else to go through this. Hope all is going well. Safe travels. 😊
All great tips.
Thanks. 😊
Hey y'all!
Hey girl. Thanks for joining us. 😊
A good reminder for me to make some changes on our phones and computer. We are pretty good about turning off our credit and debit cards until we need them. Now we can all breath a sigh of relief.
We were not good at any of it. We are much better now. Hopefully we have enough security in place to stop future events. Safe travels. 😊
Wow! So thankful to hear everything worked out to get your money back. But what a nightmare! We did away with PayPal and EBay quite some time ago. We had bad issues with both. Also great tips to pass along and share. God bless y’all..😮🙏

We do the small account thing, no overdraft allowed. We use it when travelling and online.
We were very blessed to come out of this as good as we did. The small things count. 😊
WOW! It's a good thing you were on top of it. This is so scary. It's so important to change your passwords regularly.
And to not use the same one too much. Probably never. We made a lot of mistakes, but we have corrected them. Have a great week. 😊
We make a lot of mistakes too. @@RVAmerica

Holy cow, crazy
We totally agree!
Bad deal, but great info on what happened and what to do. Thanks for the video on this horrible issue. It is a nightmare out there. Take care.
It was definitely a nightmare. Thanks so much for joining us. ☺️. Have a blessed week.
You folks too. Glad it all seemed to work out ok in the end.
Us to. 😁
Nothing we hate worse than a thief. Ughhh. We got our debit card hacked about 10 years ago. Somebody in OK City was using our card to buy gift cards. Luckily our bank got us our money back fast
Most banks are insured and will give you your money back. It's just such a pain to get. Everything worked out and straightened out. Safe travels. 😊
Wow, guys, what a pain. We already have done most of the items on your list. What worries is how they got into your google account. Ok need to keep a better eye on the notifications from the bank.
We can't figure out how they got into our Google account. That is the strangest thing. We think we have everything else pretty well set up and protected now. And I really watch those messages from the bank. Have a great week.😊
We had the same problem with PayPal, no more PayPal for us. Luckily the bank helped us out.
I have to say I thought paypal was safe to him. I am really learning different. Thanks so much for joining us and for all your comments. They are really helpful.
text alerts for transactions is a great way to monitor transactions . you get a text everytime the threshold you set is over limit.
Our threshold is set for $1. Sadly we did not have this set up before. We do now. 😁
We change passwords frequently.
We will from here on out.

I hope they investigate that lady in the apartment. Thank you for sharing that was just stressful watching this.
They definitely hacked my email. They even had part of my emails going to the trash. It was crazy. Hopefully, it won't happen again. Safe travels. 😊

We now have this on everything. I think you are probably right. Great comments. Thanks for joining us. 😊
