Quote HistoryQuoted: Same here. Last week they called and asked if I attempted a $6,900.00 charge at a jewelry store, 18 minutes earlier, then 9 minutes later, an attempt at $4,800.00 at an online shop. Both attempts were declined. AmEx mailed out a new card a couple days later. My last two times were for a $300 Walmart purchase and an on-line order for some place that sold plastic kitchen and bathroom stuff like garbage cans and toothbrush holders. Even criminals don't give me any respect.

Set up auto alerts that text or email for every charge. You can set the $$ amount for the alert. |

Damn near everyone's personal info (social, date of birth, address) is available to thieves if they want to pay for it. There has been so many security breaches at large corporations and government agencies. You can limit your chances of credit card fraud and identity theft but I doubt you can 100 percent stop it.

Mine got hit a week or so ago at Manolo Flooring in Washington state. It's a Discover though so I got a text message about the charge being weird, insta lock on the card, everything was reversed and I had a new card in about three days. Discover is good folk.

Quote HistoryQuoted: NO With a credit card you're not out any money, with a debit card you're arguing to get your money back. See the huge difference?

Here's a fucked up CC fraud story for you. Had a card of mine used for a hair place in CA. Called, had it shut off, they sent a new card. A little while later, same shit, same place. New card on the way. While the new card was in route, same shit hapoened. Before I even got the fucking card. Same place and all. Called, explained everything, they were supposed to take care of it. New card sent. Everything was fine for a while, then same shit, same place. Called and bitched. Somehow, Capital One can't stop Mastercard from automatically updating the card info with some hair place in CA even though they are using a diff name, etc. Capital One sends a new card, Mastercard auto updates the hair place in CA with the new card number. What a fuckimg mess. Locked old card, new card issued as a secondary card on the account because that shouldn't update to the hair place. Card canceled, issued new number, didn’t activate the new card. Two charges from “iTunes” this month. It’s a MasterCard, they can’t stop the card from updating with the fraudulent merchant. They say I can call a number and they can specifically block a merchant. I still don’t think they understood it’s not really iTunes. I’m just going to cancel the card. |

My credit card was , let's just say " compromised " by/at one of the companies that advertises on this site.
I don't make this statement lightly because I have proof . It was just luck that I caught it before any more damage could be done . Within an hour . 2 flights to Los Angles from South Carolina . As fortune would have it I have a relative working for the particular airline involved and I traced the travel agency that was also duped . Both took the fraud seriously . Enough information was gathered to absolutely identify the individual(s) involved . Will never use my regular CC on line again . Will use prepaid instead. The CC company seemed to just not give 2 cents about it . gd |

I had it happen multiple times on the same card. They would FedEx a new card to me overnight and within hours of activation there would be Uber charges. I had never even left the house.
I called them and suggested that maybe they had an in-house problem. They said no, they knew what the issue was, sort of implied it was at FedEx. I haven't had a problem since. That was Capital One. |

I think that leaving her shit in the front yard would have been better. Hell, you live in West Virginia, it's not like the neighbors would have cared. Half you neighbors probably keep all their best shit in the front yard. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Blue Nile sells online diamonds. I know that because once upon a time I had a girlfriend who dropped hints like leaving the Blue Nile website open. Then I dropped hints that I disagreed by putting all her shit in a storage unit and changing the locks when she went to her parents' house one weekend. |

Apparently, whoever got my CC number was stupid enough to call in and change my address and a bunch of other shit on my account. So, at a minimum, the last four digits of my SS number and my Mother's maiden name are compromised as well.  Life goes on. |

Someone stole my wife's card information at her work. Whoever it was spent $181 through door dash buying food. I think I know who did it and we filed a police report yesterday. The charges are at places where the wife eats so she didn't catch the charges until a couple of days ago. On 2 of the charges it was for a Mexican place that we eat at a lot and the manager gave us contact info for their IT guy because there will be a name associated with the orders.

Be careful how you pay your CC bills too. Don't use the outside mailboxes, go inside of the post office to mail bills or pay with an electronic payment/bill type system.
I had my card number taken a few years ago and I couldn't figure out how they got the number. Then someone on Nextdoor reported a van at my nearby post office pulling letters out of the outside mailbox with a wire + sticky tape. The van took off when they saw the person, only a description of the van, no plate visible.
I know it was that type of credit card/ID theft that got me, the credit card company never received my payment for that month. |
