Those transactions ranged from $3 to $6,000.


The $3 was a test, nothing happened so................

A buddy of mine only looks at his checking account activity once a month, never checks his online banking app.

Last year, his account got hacked and a huge amount got taken. However, for about a week before the large transaction, there were little unauthorized debits each day for 25-50 cents each.

That was the likely plan from this thief. Nobody’s checking on the little stuff so go for the big score.
