I was a victim of the Michael debit card crime in Las Vegas Nevada and was never notified by Michaels, but by my bank this week. How can I join the class action lawsuit?
This is a shame that I’ve utilized my debit car and entered my PIN at Michaels over the last24 months as I’m a crafty person. Not sure if I was affected but. Hopefully it will encourage Michael’s to create a compliance department within the organization that monitors all finanical transactions done in every brick and motar location
I was a victim of debit card identity theft. I shopped often at Michaels and would DEFINATELY like more information on this lawsuit.
I was a victim of the Michael’s debit card fraud also. Michael’s never contacted me. Approximately one month after shopping at Michael’s I had THREE unauthorized ATM withdrawals from my bank account.
I would like to know how I can join in the lawsuit.
Can someone please supply the name of the law firm involved with the suit in Chicago? My mother was a victim and would like to join in.
My daughter was a victim of the PIN theft at our local Colorado Springs store and was NEVER notified by the company. When I called Michael’s and asked them what they were doing for the victims they said that they were notifying people and when I asked if they were going to compensate the victims, the customer service rep said no. My 18 year old daughter would also like to know if she can join a suit against Michael’s.
My wife made a small purchase of $5.60 on May 1st and one of $7.51 on May 24th at Michael’s in Colorado Springs. Michael’s never contacted me of the potential fraud nor my bank. I had three unauthorized debits on June 20th for $603, $283, and $203. The bank froze my wife’s card only after the 3rd debit and my account was drained. I too want to get into this class action suit because I feel that Michael’s is negligent. Please send me information if someone knows.
Shopped at Michael’s in Colorado Springs with my debt card. Then cash withdrawls started in California, someone purchased a flat screen tv in Woodland Park, CO, and some purchases in MO.
Obviously, everyone can get or has gotten their money back. Michael’s did not allow this to happen intentionally and further, they were not the only stores affected. I know this because I was also affected shopping at Albertson’s. B of A also said it happened at Walmart. The bottom line here is that everyone can get their money back by filing a dispute with their bank. I myself got back over $2,500 that was taken. If you want to punish someone, it’s advised that you file a police report so that the culprits who actually stole from you can get what’s coming to them.
I was also a victim in thus fraud and have been without the $2600for nearly 45 days because unlike normal banks my bank card was issued by hr block and they don’t do things like mist banks.til they finally credited me a $1000 a couple days ago but are refusing the other $1600 because they said the vegas transactions they would not credit b/c i live here even though i’ve never withdrawn $500. At anytime in the 2 years i’ve had the card i’ve needed my cash and still nothing i want results asap thus is relidiculous.
Has anyone heard how to join the lawsuit? More annoyed how nonchalant Michaels was about this. Having four kids, any loss of my money and then having to drag them to the police station to file the report was a burden.
I too was a victim of the scam with my card. I need to know and be contacted via my email address on how to join the lawsuit?
