Why oh why can't they take accurate messages?
I went and laid down, I was feeling really dizzy and stiff.
I told the boys I was just going to lay down, that's all, not go to bed, just lay down and stretch out.
I do this a lot.
The phone rang, I heard it ring.
I assumed it was for one of them because they didn't come get me.
I've been back out of my room for over an hour now.
Sebastian just now tells me the message.
Sebastian: Oh, you got a call, something about your Mastercard and $29.95.
Me: What did they say?
Sebastian: It was an automated message, it said: Dear credit card holder, your Mastercard has been deposited, credited or something, $29.95.
Me: Deposited, credited, or debited, $29.95?
Sebastian: Maybe debited. I dunno. Maybe they said deposited. I think it was deposited.
Me: Why didn't you come get me? I wasn't sleeping, just stretching like I always do. I could have probably pressed 1 to hear the message again. Sebastian, please think hard, what did it say?
Sebastian: I don't know. Sor-ry *total sarcasm*
Me: If this was your money, you'd be pissed if I took a half assed message like this, please think hard.
Sebastian: I think it said debited, but I mostly think deposited.
Me: *sigh*
I checked both my Amscot Mastercard and my Paypal Mastercard, nothing deposited or debited. Yet.
Ugh. This upsets me because I have no idea what this is for.
Maybe it's one of those freak calls that means absolutely nothing, but what if it's a charge from someone who got my CC number somehow?
I'm freaking out!

I bet it's some sort of a scam.
Last year, I was getting a whole bunch of calls from people telling me that I'd *earned* a free portable DVD player for using my debit MasterCard. These were NOT from my bank. I know this because I asked the caller what bank I use for the card. They didn't know. I yelled at them and called them scammers and hung up.
My guess is that they'd have next asked for the card number. One of the callers actually had some of my info, they knew the last four digits. But, it was a card that my bank had cancelled, due to the possibility of it being compromised. They had issued me a new card with a completely different number.
But no one stole any of my money, thank goodness.
Too bad Sebastian couldn't get the message straight. This could be nothing, or it could be a scammer, and you do need to know.
I just hope it's nothing.

I'm sure it is some sort of scam, I just wish he could get the message right, or come get me. Now it's going to bug me...LOL
