Well this morning I was checking my accounts out and every thing was fine. A few hours later my bank USAA calls and ask where I am. They informed me someone had made several purchases with my debit card in Spain. Needless to say they shut the card off and will put the money back in my account within a few days.
I've always heard of this happening to folks, but never would have figured I'd get hit. Thanks to USAA I have no stress over the situation. My mind did wonder on how the criminals got my info. Cyber attack, a crooked waiter that took my card info, a rigged machine, etc...
To make sure, I will be using my credit card or cash at restaurants from now on. Just in case it was a waiter/server.
