The title pretty much sums it up. Some dick scanned both my credit cards and my debit and used them to the point where they were automatically cancelled by the bank. I need to fly home to help my sister who is having health problems. So I'm f*cked....any suggestions guys???

No. I was attending college then she got really sick, which is why I don't have a return ticket.

 

Is the bank already in the process of restoring your lost funds?  Don't assume they are you need to check with them.

 

As far as getting back home are your parent's or other relatives able to wire you the money? or at least buy a plane ticket in your name?
