Fraud!

Well I had quite the theft happen to me on Canada Day. It’s crazy because it was so distracting I didn’t get to go see the fire works or do anything else Last night because of the fraud on my RBC account.

So on Canada Day we went to Niagara Falls to have a yummy BBQ with my parents, and it was awesome! After we finished mom and I went to the Casino, the only thing that is open to check up on the old Fruits and Passions but unfortunately the new owner was there so we didn’t want to go inside.
Instead we went around the mall and I bought some things at one of the shops with my debit card. After we got back home Kyle and I left but we decided to go to the states to get some gas for the week and check and see if there were any sales on. So we went, I picked up a few things but my debit card wasn’t working which was strange.

When we got back into Canada and while we driving back home I used Kyle’s lap top to check my online banking. ( He has this gimmick that lets you surf the net while you travel- It comes in handy) Anyway, I LOST IT! When I saw that my bank account was down by $401.50! So I was looking at all the transactions and the one that mom and me made was on there but there was another one for $401.50 the same day and I hadn’t used my cared anywhere else.

And the info beside this let me know that it was a cash withdrawal, not interact from a store or a transfer..It happened in a bank machine.

After a minor melt down I got on the phone and called Royal Bank while Kyle and I were still driving home and its awesome that they work on Holidays late at night because someone was there to talk to me and they gave me a bunch of information and told me the money was taken out at 6:14 which was when I was at home having dinner with my parents. They also said the RBC investigators were not in until tomorrow but he gave me their number to leave a message.

So I left a message and today..Around 11:00 they got back to me and told me that they know for sure that my card was duplicated and the money would be put back into my account and I need to go get a new card and pin. So I did that and the money is back in my account not more than 24hours later. RBC rocks! I was worried for awhile that they wouldn’t be able to prove it wasn’t me who took the money out but they have technology that lets them know.
Anyway, I am pretty sure I know who did it.

I don’t use my debit card that often and when I do I usually swipe it but just the other day I was at “ The beat goes on” and they swiped my card and the guy seemed nervous and the swiper is hidden so you can’t see it. Everywhere else I always swipe so I think it’s there. The investigators apparently follow leads and they said they would contact the business with the perpetrator but I’m not supposed to get involved.

Anyway, that was my exciting Canada Day. I’m just sad I didn’t get to see the fireworks BUT I’m glad that money is back safe in my new RBC account.

The Story of a Prince and a Girl who Dreamed of finding Her Prince.

Once upon a time there was a young woman named Ruby; she lived in a far way kingdom where only the stars in the sky could light the way. The kingdom was tall and made of stone. Inside, it had all of the finest linens and tapestries with winding stair cases, golden mirrors and exotic flowers that stretched the kingdom’s stone walls. The kingdom was surrounded by a large creek bed and had a large wooden draw bridge outside the tall black iron front gates. Beyond the kingdom were many forests, pastures, rivers and hills.

The young woman lived in the kingdom with only her two servants Nigel and Jasmine. They had been with Ruby ever since her mother gave birth to her and have cared for her and loved her since the great royal war that took her family tragically away from her. Years had past since then and Ruby was a young woman now. Since the great royal war she had not seen another person beside her servants. The lands had been deserted as other kingdoms were destroyed and abandoned. No one knew this kingdom existed. It stood in a far off place that only one deserted over grown pathway in the forest would lead to.

Ruby spent her childhood growing up playing with all the animals in the forest, she had names for all of them and would spend her days dancing in the pastures and walking along the creek bed throwing stones into the water. She was content those days as she lived free and enjoyed every tree, every stone, and every pathway near the kingdom. She loved her home but she missed her family and many times she felt alone.

As Ruby grew older she began to stop playing in the pastures and instead she spent her days walking along the creek bed dreaming of finding love and not being alone anymore. Every night outside her balcony she would spend time looking out into the stars and making wishes that one day soon a wonderful man would find the unmarked path in the forest that would lead him to her kingdom.

Nigel and Jasmine were very old now; Ruby took time to care for them and tended to their needs. She would gather food from the garden and make them food to eat and get them blankets to make sure they were comfortable when it was cold. She was not sure how much longer they would live but one thing she knew was how much she admired they’re love for one another and she hold that in her heart for as long as she lived.

It was a warm fall evening; the leaves from the trees were lightly falling as the sun began to set. Ruby was standing on her balcony in her long white silk night gown. As the dark sky began to shine, a light breeze bustled against her gown and her long brown hair blew lightly in the wind. She stood with her hands on the balcony ledge and wished to the stars like she had so many nights before singing” Star light Star bright bring my prince home to me tonight” She stared up into the dark blue sky and began to talk more to the shinning stars.

Just as she was looking up into the sky, talking to the stars a man was following the pathway from the forest that leads to Ruby’s kingdom. He was beginning to approach the edge of the pathway he had began journeying on earlier that day and was about to step on to a beautiful white shiny stoned pebble walk way that would lead up to a draw bridge and to Ruby’s kingdom.

The young man had been travelling for months only eating what he could find along the pathway. Henry was a prince from the golden city of Persia. He was on an expedition when he was captured by rivals and taken to a far away land where he was imprisoned in a place he did not know. Months ago after many nights planning Henry escaped while the guards were sleeping. He thought he would be able to journey home by recognizing land marks but once he had fled the guards he realized that he was further from home then he ever imagined and much to his dismay he did not recognize any of his surroundings. He had been following the sun in hopes of finding his way home. Each day he walked further hoping that one day the pathway would lead him to his family.

Earlier that day Henry had been walking though the forest with large green bushes and fruitful trees around him when he saw a small unmarked pathway that was ragged and old. There were no fruit trees, only old tall trees and an old pebble pathway that seemed run down and abandoned.

He was going to continue to walk on the pathway he had been but something caught his eye as he walked past this abandoned trail. Henry saw a small red ruby attached to a ring lying in between some wet leaves. The sun was shining on it and it glistened and shinned at him. He bent down and lifted the leaves around it away and dusted the ring off and looked at. The ring was prestigious and fit for a princess. He thought about continuing on the main pathway road through the forest but he was drawn down this unmarked pathway. He wondered if this ruby red ring belonged to someone. He put the ring in his pocket and began to walk along the jagged unmarked pathway. He noticed that there were no markings along this pathway so it appeared that no one had walked this pathway for many years.

To Be Continued…
