I had an $800 fraudulent charge on my account back in December. Contested it through my bank that had supposedly stopped payment on the merchant yet had another $800 charge made the next day. The first charge was deemed fraudulent and credited back to my account. Yet the second one was drawn out and ultimately deemed valid.

No one had access to my devices or information. I had never heard of Gametime until then. In addition to that someone took out a $1700 same day loan in my name. The loan fraud was resolved with one phone call. I am still trying to get my $800 back over a couple Backstreet Boys tickets.

I've been to my bank 3 times and ultimately closed my account over it. They said deal with the merchant directly. I did with no luck. They said contact the bank. PayPal was the intermediary. I've yet to have any success speaking with them.

There are a lot of factors that don't add up and at this point all I can think of is I was hacked digitally but I'm having a difficult time holding anyone accountable. What do I do at this point?

Long story short, I was PMing for a LV company and recently resigned. The HV contractor that subbed us out was interested in hiring me after said resignation.

I have the skillset to do the PM part of the job, but I am not a licensed electrician. I take issue with telling people to do things that I'm not confident doing or haven't done. It's a recipe for disaster. Their subs are solid and I'm told the job is point and shoot but I strive to be a PM that is knowledgeable and willing to strap on the tool belt if needed.

My potential employer offered to set me up to get licensed which I intend to do. What should I do in the meantime while doing the job? I've been researching everything I can think of to be more knowledgeable but what would you recommend I do to be effective until then?
