Stolen Credit Card Numbers
4/1/14

Posted on 04/01/2014 7:45:20 AM PDT by pabianice

In the last three days I have been contacted by credit card fraud offices regarding two different credit cards with questionable charges. Several months ago I was contacted about a third. All the charges quoted were fraudulent. In the past I have received such a call perhaps once every several years, but never two in one week or three in several months. They were legitimate calls and asked for no personal information and the fraud was backed-up by the cards' online webpages.

Is anyone else having such a problem? WTH?

Happened twice at one restaurant within a month on two different cards. I called the manager to report the theft and she blew me off with “that could never happen here.”

Yeap, they are probably the culprit. I know our work cafeteria was devastated when they found out they were the problem. Staff that worked there were so upset. Somehow our numbers were being sent to someone in the south. My card was used first in Georgia, then in Florida... to make $400+ purchases at stores like Walmart.

I have my CC set up to email me of EVERY transaction, since I don't have very many transactions, per month.

Oh, I like that. I'll have to see if my bank offers it.
