Tomorrow will be the third time this year I will have to go to my bank to report my credit cards being compromised by thieves. Anyone else caught up in this merry go round? I need advice as this is not how I wish to continue my day to day affairs.
Lol, I turned in my Pud Pounders card years ago so no way Jose on that thought.Quit using your CC on porn sites,.... problem solved.
Visa credit card.We ARE talking credit vs debit cards, right?

Did you switch credit card companies or just learn to live with it?I used to get hit frequently when I had a Chase card. They always caught it before I did, but it got frustrating. Would get a new card in 2 days, but it seemed like every 45-60 days there was an out of the country charge that was bogus.
I wouldn’t even bother getting dressed to resolve it. Call the 800 number, dispute the charges and ask for a new card.Visa credit card.
Sorry to say so but english speaking Indians and me have a hard time communicating.I wouldn’t even bother getting dressed to resolve it. Call the 800 number, dispute the charges and ask for a new card.
They merchant on ebay isnt taking direct payment though so the people on ebay would not have access to your credit card. It's either your card was stolen from a website that was hacked where you purchased something from OR from a gas pump local to you. Gas pumps have skimmers that you can't even see.The first and second hits against my account this year were for overseas purchases but this time the charges are from a Walmart, hit three times for $135 each. It's getting pretty widespread when the trashy side of town is in on the act don't you think. Looking back I think purchases on Ebay that come direct from China are suspect as all the fraud purchase were within a week of my China connection. Will not be doing that again. If this continues it's back to cash and the hell with the new world of doing business.
I finally switched. Have to give Chase credit. They caught every one before I did, but every time I got hit, it was with their card. Never with any other card I have. It just got aggravating.Did you switch credit card companies or just learn to live with it?
I was sort of afraid of that, I buy bullet molds from a couple of places and fear their site has been compromised. I've been paying in cash for what little gas I buy thinking I would be in the safe, but no, the thieves win again. Seriously thinking about using postal money orders and cash for transactions, I really don't like the idea of thieves getting buy Scot free and that is what appears to be the norm these days.They merchant on ebay isnt taking direct payment though so the people on ebay would not have access to your credit card.

This has been our experience. Out of three cards, Chase is the only one (so far) that's been compromised. They did catch it both times.I finally switched. Have to give Chase credit.

is it the one you use the most for online and traveling purchasing? Assuming yes because its probably a rewards card. I'm thinking correlation does not imply causationThis has been our experience.

We have Chase, Discover, Citi (Mastercard). The Citi gets the least use, but Discover and Chase have fairly similar usage patterns. One difference is that the Chase/Discover gas pump usage ratio is about 2/1, so Chase has more potential skimmer exposure. We recently set up app payment to reduce gas pump swiping. For a while we were going in and paying cash, but that got old.is it the one you use the most for online and traveling purchasing? Assuming yes because its probably a rewards card.

most all debit cards are credit cards. The old idea that debit cards aren't protected is old news now.We ARE talking credit vs debit cards, right?

There should be a 'boom you're going to jail' when one runs the script! As the world goes further off the 'data is power' cliff the rule of law will not be able to keep up with the graf and then we have chaos, jmho.You don't have to use your card for the number to get stolen. 16 digits, dinner or which are fixed by the algorithm, a date, and an optional security code isn't a whole lot of number entropy.
Think of it in terms of passwords. Card numbers are like short passwords. Someone can run a computer script that roll churn through the possible combinations and see if get can get a hit with one accepting charges. Boom your card just scored the lottery.
Anybody ever tell you that you have too much time on your hands?
Yup.Made my call, a nice down home speaking lady answered and fixed my problem in a matter of minutes.
Did they send you Christmas cards ?I fed a family of Chinese off and on for 6 months when i was in Afghanistan. They got my number in Germany when using a phone and used it once a month or so .
I never used mine. It was a backup more than anything else. I think I used it 3-4 times in 5 years.is it the one you use the most for online and traveling purchasing? Assuming yes because its probably a rewards card. I'm thinking correlation does not imply causation
