Credit/Debit Card Fraud

How are the bastards getting your info? Are you making a lot of online purchases or did you use a card reader that has been tampered with? Do you travel a lot?

I’ve only had one problem and MasterCard picked it up right away. The user somehow got my info online and did a test purchase for a very small online purchase overseas to see if my card would work. Following this, MC froze my account and notified me.

I had this happen a couple years ago.

Stopped after a few months of similar attacks. Only had one incidence sense.

It’s happened to me at least once in the past 2 years. My credit card company caught it quickly.

I even had my iTunes account hacked last year! That was a hard one to notice because the perpetrator was making single song purchases here and there.

How was their taste in music?

Kind of funny getting to know your perp in that sense.

My wife and I got home from the hospital after she gave birth and found some asshole in Florida had rung up $1,800 in charges at various locations…

Navy Federal took care of it no problem, though. It took very little effort on my part.

They have to lol. That is one situation where the customer has the bank/CC Compnay by the balls.

They will get in massive trouble for not kissing your ass.
