VISA card compromised....

[anlauto]

So I get in today and there's a message from Indigo Books....They want me to call and confirm my "on line" purchase.

When she told me it was to be mailed to a different address then billed to, it usually tips a red flag, so she called.

I'm very thankful because when I called VISA they told me of two "ON LINE" purchases made that didn't jive....

Walmart $630.03
and Indigo $919.78 

What the Truck do you buy at Indigo for $900 frickin dollars ?

Must be a very dumb crook.....

...and now I'm the one having to cancel my card and all the pre-authorized payments....PITA

Good thing that got caught early!

Yea, I'm thankful....One great thing about 'on line banking" is that I'm constantly checking my credit card and accounts, sometimes two or three times a day...

My VISA purchases were over $40K for the month of June alone...so I watch it very carefully...

Visa's best quality is its worst quality.  I've had my card compromised 3 times and all 3 times everything was covered no questions asked.  I too use mine for work and with a points card we have got a  dishwasher (x2) fridge,  microwave,  washer and dryer, etc and kids Xmas presents every year.

This reminds me of a recent sales trip I had to make. I took a cab from the airport to my hotel upon landing. Usually taxi drivers use square to run the credit card, this last time I got a guy who still had to run the card the old fashion way with paper.

I thought oh great this business CC # will end up in some thief's hands in the next 20 mins. Nothing yet but from now on when that happens I'll just pay cash.

Yep same here I had mine compromised 3 times in a short period 2 years ago


Visa caught the issue each time. New card each time also.

Sucks but ya gotta stay on top of it.
