Well I never played in a lottery and the mail were I got this was my work mail. If it were on gmail or hotmail I'd be thinking fraud right on the beginning, but the fact that I received it on my work email just had me going. I even went to see if their site existed and it existed. 😲 Those guys were doing a very good job. It even had a promised a TV interview 😵.

So I don't know all that much about debit cards , and being that I'm 18 and will be at college next year I should probably figure this stuff out:

So, when you have a debit card, and use it do you get charged a fee for your purchase? My mom seems to think that banks will always charge between $1.50 and $2.50 for every purchase I make with a debit card. ...[text shortened]... ..). So, if somebody could help me out and explain these debit card fees to me it'd help.
My darling, use cash. It's just a good habit at your age. And if and when you start getting credit card approvals, just say no. You'll regret it.

What do you want to buy? I can get it for you and then we can meet up to do a deal.

Right; in the UK

Debt card = no charge usually

Credit card = often a charge for internet purchases as they treat it like you are withdrawing cash from the hole in the wall. [in other words, a rip off]

With some credit card purchases you are not charged a fee. [plus you are normally insured - sort of]

probably similar conditions where you are located.

My wife and I both have debit cards. We don't get charged a fee when we use it. But then we have had money in the same bank for 45 years.

You have money in the bank? 😲 I think you're my new best friend! I don't get charged either, because I don't often have enough money to spend!
