I got hacked yesterday. The people logged into my online banking and moved money out of my savings account into my spending account. 2 different transactions. They then moved money out of another savings account into my spending account and made 2 huge direct debits. I've lost 11k. They then spent some money with a credit score a fund. So they have found out my credit score and everything.
I spoke to the police and I've spoken to my bank (NAB).
They told me it's a really complicated situation because these people have actually gone into my account and then spent on my card even using the cvv on the back. They haven't left much beind. A few hundred that was in my daughters account and a bit in my bills account.
I'm a full time single mum, my daughter needs surgery next year and has medical appointments, she also has ADHD. I'm in bed right now trying to clear my mind but she's bouncing on me I just want her to stop for a minute. I'm seeing a cardiologist next month and need a tooth pulled.
I'm at a loss. This money was all I had for security I don't have enough for my rego that's due soon and I won't even be able to come up with it in time my car won't pass rego because I need new Tyers.
What do I do? Will I get my money back? I have PTSD I don't cry I can't cry and I just want too, I've been seeing a psychologist to learn how to cry again but its not working I feel like I will feel better if I do.
It's Christmas too and I haven't done really any Christmas shopping. I'm broke I feel scared. I feel ripped. How can people be so mean.
I've picked my self up from my daughters dad, he use to physically hurt me, he took all my money, he took my life from me so i started again even with a child full time I managed to pick my self up after. I then picked my self up after i met a guy who again was abusive an alcoholic, but now I just feel done, I feel like ending my self now I've always been suicidal, I od this year and have done so many times in the past. I'm exhausted of always fighting and getting knocked right back, when is it enough.
I feel like the shittest mum right now, all these things I had planed for my daughter and now I can't do them. She doesn't have a dad so I try do a bit more but I can't now.
Has any one been frauded before? Did you get your money back? What measures did you go to? How long did it take?

I have been. It took about 2 weeks for them to investigate but once they decide the money goes in the same day. The wait is terrifying, it's s9 stressful I had a mini breakdown in that time. The stress and shock when you realise is so much, so I feel for you. If it wasn't you, they should cover it, I hope it goes smoothly. Try to breathe now as it's being taken care of, make sure any remaining is secured, and breathe and wait.

Do you think it could be someone you know? Who could get access to your bank login and your card?
Hopefully they can use net info to see who logged in from which location and that will help.you work it out.

No advice but hang in there xx
