She said the guy had to notify the bank and the bank would straighten the mess out. She suspected a scam and I'm inclined to agree with her. After all, she's smarter than anybody in the office. She's even smarter than me and my wife. I frequently pick her brain.

I've converted from being a largely cash payer to credit card in the
last year. I have a cash-back card that returns 2% on groceries,
utilities, gas and prescriptions and 1% on everything else.
