Tom picked me up from the airstrip last week and mentioned something was wrong with the bank card....so when we brought Summer down to the international airport in Entebbe we stopped at Stanbic Bank to follow up. Over the course of 3 days, someone, somehow pulled out money from our account using a Kampala ATM machine....while I was stateside and Tom was with our only card hours away in Karamoja. Our entire account has been cleared, 12.87 million Ugandan shillings - that's over $5000 and was to last us til January of next year. Mukisa said that this is not uncommon and also happened to the KACHEP account. pray that the investigation goes well and that our funds are recovered. In the meantime -we'll stay down in Jinja til we can figure it out - and to pay for the one million truck bill we just got. ouch

Oh MY WORD. I'm so so sorry. We'll pray for restoration or for some unforseen blessing to come quickly. FRUSTRATING! Sorry guys...
ReplyDeletestill waiting on the bank. they at least have figured out which 2 atm machines got hacked and at what time. of course - no cameras on them! bills are piling up and we really don't want to be in Jinja - but can't even move because the truck bill is a million and we have supplies to be bought and carried up.... patience is a virtue
