<prompt> Human: I apologize if this is posted in the incorrect sub-reddit, but Im not sure where to ask my question. Earlier today, my son who is away at college had his debit card declined at the grocery store due to it being reported as Lost. When he called our banks toll free number, he was told that it was reported as lost by a third party. There is no name on file of who made the report. He is to go into the bank on Monday to request a new debit card for a fee which will be mailed to his permanent address my home in 7 to 10 business days. We cannot figure out why or how someone would do this. Surely they would have needed personal information to get his card revoked. We checked his accounts, including his credit card from another bank, and there are no suspicious charges. Can anyone give us any ideas what has happened? Other than someone trying to get a copy of the new debit card sent to a different address, we can not think of any benefits to reporting someone elses card as lost. He can not think of anyone that he has made angry or that would do this as a prank. Thanks for the help.  <response>: new debit card for a fee Time to get a new bank I guess.
