Fraud Once Again...

ScoreSizzle — Sat, 02 Mar 2019 17:32:50 GMT

It has been months since I've had fraud on my Amex. But these people love using it at gas stations and not just for a tank of gas but for almost $100 worth of stuff.

I'll have my new card on Monday. Ay-yi-yi-yi Lucy!

Do you have any AUs on your Amex cards?

Do you do a lot of online purchasing with your AMEX card? I don't understand how people can keep getting a hold of your information... My dad seems to have a lot of trouble with fraud charges, but that's because he always buys random crap online from shady websites. I've told him countless times to knock it off, but he doesn't like to listen to someone who knows better LOL.

I do. It's my wife but it was done with my card. Even said it was "present". It's my daily driver so I literally use it for EVERYTHING.

I don't, TBH. Amazon here and there. Grub Hub once a month.

Yeah, I'm wondering how as well. I do work in Downtown Los Angeles and have to park in parking structures for work. I also eat at a lot of hole in the wall restaurants.

Yeah that could definitely be where they're getting your info. Lots of shady people out there who won't think twice about using YOUR money. My dad even had someone text him from a random number claiming to be Wells Fargo and wanted him to "verify" his social security number and other private info lol. Like, ok, suuurrree here you go!!
