All IHG Cardholders Check Your Accounts.. Multiple Fraud Reported

[baller4life]

Received email alert from Chase about a transaction of $25 to Intl Food Assoc and immediately called because I did not recognize it. Fraud rep notified me that is a charitable organization in Iowa and was done online. He also informed me that someone in Brazil attempted a charge twice on the 17th but was declined because they didn't know expiration date. Card cancelled and another one ordered.

Third time I've been hit with fraud. First time with Chase. Shoutout to Scoreorbescored for encouraging me to set up my transaction alerts. I was instantly notified. Set up those transaction alerts on all your accounts folks so you can catch these crooks right away!

ETA: Another IHG cardholder reported exact same charge on their card!!

Sorry this happened. But glad it was caught in time!

Good thing you caught it in time before they did more damage. 

Having the the alerts set up is very handy. It does get annoying to get emails and text alerts 

for a card you use daily but in the end it's worth having ! 

Like Baller said, y'all set up the alerts and set them to alert you for any transaction made for $1.00 or more.

if you can set for less then $1 then by all means do so, because sometimes crooks will try 0.50 just to test 

the card.

This is why I have text alerts on all my accounts. Too many crooks out there.

BALLER! Exact same fraud on my IHG card at 2:18AM this morning...same company, same state, same amount. Security also told me there was another attempt but it was declined because they got the expiration date wrong!! Totally shocked we had the same exact thing happen! Thankfully I had alerts set up too...saw the email at 5am this morning, everything fixed by 5:45 and new card on the way. SMH fraudsters are patient and persistent...be aware people!

I've had my CC numbers stolen and used for purchases. The great folks at NFCU alerted me and called me. They canceled and issued me another card. It INFURIATED me that it happened to me! Up until this time, my prayers haven't been answered; I've prayed to get a hold of that person. Five minutes...that is all I ask...just five minutes.

OMG!!!! What the HELL is going on over at Chase. That sounds like an inside breach for us to both have same charge on our IHG card!!!
