Aftermath

Phone problem. I lost my phone in mexico (for less than a day) and before I recovered it someone had made a bunch of changes to it (the desk top with rows of apps was gone, everything was in spanish, etc.). I recovered a bunch of things from the cloud but I still have a big problem in that I cannot make calls or texts. When I turn on the phone it says: "no SIM card - emergency calls only". When I try to make a call it says "mobile network not available" (despite being at a location where network as been available in the past). When I try to use Signal messaging app to text it asks me to enter a your mobile number to receive a verification code, but of course I can't receive any code because the text is not functioning. When I try to you the messages app it says "No preferred SIM selected for sending SMS messages". Google is helpful and agrees to send me a new SIM for free. MEXICO TRIP: While at the ER, last Monday [Feb 26?] I looked into my wallet to find my credit card to pay for the $100 copay. Not there. Back at home Carol badgered me to look harder around my messy room. Couldn't find. THen I put the new SIM card in my phone. Lots of calls and messages appeared including one from the Wings Financial Credit Card frawd division encouraging me to call them immediately. "Hello this is the fraud Detection Department for your credit union calling for mark g mchugh. We would like to verify recent activity on your credit union Visa credit card ending in 71922 . Please contact us toll free at 844-386-9808 at your earliest convenience. .... My credit card had been stolen and was being used to withdraw cash, buy gas, auto tires(?) in Mexico. The kindly helpful fraud guy assured me I was not responsible for the purchases and generally seemed just glad I had gotten in touch with them. Where and when did I lose the card? I seldom used the card. It was late in the trip. While I was making a reservation in Isla Holbox for Humanity Hostel? [highly unlikely as all the charges were made on April 22 (I'm pretty sure) In humanity Hostel? The snorkling boat guy? Or some absent minded stunt I haven't thought of? Not sure.
