Re: Update 6/7 Marvel Fraud - $16,000!!! - What happened Sync??????

I had $500 charged on my card, I noticed it, called BofA. As I was on the phone with them the thieves tried getting another $500 and BofA issued me a new card etc. I don't get how that big of charges on your card went unoticed by your card issuer...very odd

Similar thing happen to me on my BJ's card, I went to some privately owned convenience store for very small purchase and couple of weeks later over $1500 on my account.

 

Got everything refunded thankfully. It is crazy that some merchants can't be trusted and they sell our CC info!

 

I'm glad that I don't use Debit Card anymore for purchase!

Sorry this happened. Unfortunately Synch just doesn't strike me as being in the same league as say Chase, BOA, etc and so they probably don't handle things as efficiently or well. At least they are fixing it for you. Still sucks.


I don't get it. I was shut off with Chase at Target one day, in the next town over, for spending $350. 

 

My concern is now with that balance reporting if not cleared before the next statement. There goes util on that card - 84%. What other bank is gonna get skidish? Barclay? BoA?

 

Guess this is a downfall for having a large line on a sync mastercard.


Yeah that sucks... luckily mine is only $4,000.

 

 

I got turned down in LA after being there for a week with Citi with my AA plat while i was spending to make the $3,000 in three months for 50,000 points. I think I spent around $2,000 in LA before they decided to decline me for a $30 dollar gas charge while i was filling up a rental to return the car.

Wow, I have this card and this surprises and scares me because I was notified by Chase this morning over $5.46. Talk about two different companies.

I am shocked those charges weren't picked up by a fraud algorithm. Seriously?! Wow.
