Over the next few days, I became a detective in my own life. I combed through past statements, matched receipts with transactions, and made a series of calls to the bank’s fraud department. The more I dug, the more questions emerged. Why were these transactions happening in places I’d never been? Who had access to my information? Each call with the bank followed a similar script: polite apologies, promises of further investigation, but no concrete answers. « We’re doing everything we can, » they’d assure me, but the lack of progress only fueled my frustration. One afternoon, while sorting through emails, I noticed something odd—a message with a subject line I didn’t recognize. It was from an unfamiliar sender, and my instincts screamed caution. I opened the email cautiously, aware of the risk of phishing scams. The contents were cryptic, but it mentioned a meeting, a date, and an address. My curiosity piqued, I decided to follow this new lead, hoping it might bring me closer to uncovering the truth.
