Agh I’m sorry! I remember reading about how sometimes if you give a company your credit card information for a recurring charge (like a monthly bill or subscription) and the card number changes, the company can get the updated number through your financial institution.

Just looked it up and I think it’s called Updater Services. No idea if something similar could’ve happened here, especially since it happened within 12 hours.

Good luck, I hope you get it sorted out!

Okay, gotcha! Thanks for the clarification!

While not surprised, I’m still shocked, disgusted, and furious.

Has VCU made any sort of statement on the incident?

An old therapist once described Richmond as the biggest “small town” she’s ever lived in.

As far as dating goes, I guess it’s fine and so long as you’re not from the area you won’t have to worry about running into people you don’t want to (at least at first).

I don’t go out very often anymore, but used to, and I think the bar/nightlife scene is decent enough. I’m in a couple Facebook groups where people from NYC and Nova seem to do nothing but complain about how boring Richmond is. I’m from here and didn’t fully appreciate it until I was in college (Almost 30 for reference).

The past two years have been a bit off, but there’s usually something going on every week/weekend. Depending on your interests though, it may not be every week (or month) where something super exciting that you’re interested in is going on.

If you decide to move here, I promise everyone will be more than nice to you in person. Ngl, a lot of Richmonders are kinda salty about the influx of new people moving in and contributing to increased housing costs. However, if we ran into you at Ardent or Hardywood (or wherever else) we’d almost definitely forget about all that and would be pretty excited to hear about where you came from and how you were liking Richmond.

As a CYA, YMMV haha
