That sucks, but at least they caught it.

Erik has had to have new cards twice now because of suspicion. Nothing ever happened, but the bank didn't want to take a chance so they closed it and sent new cards. It sucked waiting for the new card, but at least he didn't have to worry about fraudulent charges.

Happened to me once. They used an old email account to get personal information. They then used the personal information to get card numbers. What did they buy.... online dating/sex site....

My dad got it a couple months before he passed. He went to take a client out to lunch and.... oooops card got decined. He called all pissed off, and found out somebody spent almost 5 grand in 4 hours. Now these guys did it up real. They spent $2400 on televisions and electronics online, and another $2,000 some on itunes downloads. Thats a fuck ton of songs.....

I opened another account and transfered a lot of my money out of my main.

Ive been lucky so far but a few weeks ago Wachovia called me and told me that they were cancelling my current check card and issuing me a new one. Apparently, someone with a card number similar to mine was compromised so they did a preemptive change. Im fine with that but it took 2 weeks for me to get a replacement which is BS.

The charge went through so now I have to go sign fraud papers.
