Castro said while she was cashing out, she got distracted with her kids but she didn't know anything was wrong until the next day.



"I was at the store trying to pay and my card was declined which was embarrassing but I called my bank and they said that I had an authorization which is normally a fraud thing and that they had closed down my debit card," Castro said.



Castro called and asked her bank what happened. She said they told her it was a charge from jockey.com for $0.00.



"I was trying to think to myself who could have gotten my card number because I hadn't used it in almost a week and then I remembered when I went to the mall, I paid with my card and the boys had taken awhile," Castro said.



She claimed the bank told her the charge happened within minutes of her last purchase, the Santa picture.



"Then the bank said that the charge happened about 15 minutes after I left and there was nobody else at the mall visiting Santa when we were there so they must have ran it right after we walked out the door," Castro said.



Castro said she called the mall and attempted to call the company to let them know what happened, she also told police.



"They gave me a website that I could go to to file a report. I thought that maybe it was a local site but when I went to it, it was just the Federal Trade Commission Identity Theft and then I went and I was told that since no money had come out of my account yet that they couldn't really do anything," Castro said.



Castro said she's grateful her bank caught what was going on. But at the end of the day, she said she won't be purchasing any more Santa pictures from naughty elves.
