my wife watches ours quite closely and this morning she noticed a charge for 600 dollars. she immediately asks me did you put anything big on the card lately.
I do form time to time have to order things and expense them getting my reimbursment but had nothing recent.
well it was 600 dollars at a place that sells fancy shampoo and such well we certainly didn't order that the bank was notified , charge disputed and card has been canceled less than 24 hours after the charge was made but scary stuff.
it pays to keep one card you only use for online stuff.
we don't use this card for anything you would consider risky , mostly major online retailers and a few local purchases.
so someone got hacked and lost our info or somewhere we went local skimmed out info from the card.
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Indeed. Most banks will drop it for you today without asking. I'll add to your tip if I may.... Topic: Bank Account you can give out without worrying... You know sometimes you want to either pay From or get paid To a bank account but you don't want to give out your real bank info? Get this Free (no monthly fee...that's the key) Capital One account: https://www.capitalone.com/bank/checking-accounts/online-checking-account/I did it last year to use PayPal (Because I hate PayPal with a passion and wouldn't never give them my real info)....and it works great!

I got a call from my CC company wondering if I had used my CC to charge credit on a Starbucks card in Bangladesh! Not lately, no..
Life ain't supposed to be easy.

we gt one of those calls a few years back.
the credit union was smart enough to realize we weren't Christmas shopping in WI in the morning and in GA less than an hour later.
the credit union is very easy to work with , I just wish people would stop stealing or trying to steal from me.
