 Wow I just literally got off the phone with Chase because somebody use my IHG card in Guatemala at a telecommunications for $3.25.  I received the text email and phone call from Chase literally back to back about the situation.   

 Also I failed to mention that they shut down all 8 of my  accounts and are re-issuing brand-new cards to me overnight and also right now I'm on the phone with the bank because something happened there to.   If I could use profanity right now I would.

Geez that really sucks Saleen!

I just called Chase back and told them about the IHG situations being reported on top of the multiple Hyatt situations happening in this manner. They forwarded me to someone in the EO (I didn't ask, they just did so), and the lady there said she definitely would be sharing this trend with the investigations department, and that it would be of interest to them.

Doesn't seem so weird to report these trends when they are saying it is helpful

Thank you humu. They really need to get their act together.

My point WASN'T that people should not report them, or that the issuer would not find them helpful.   Merely that it is not surprising that there are lots of duplicate charges, which people seemed to find surprising.

That said, to complete my non-FSR rant, IT IS NOT THAT HUGE A DEAL.   Annoying yes, crime against humanity?  Probably not.   So praying to have some time with them seems way out of proportion compared to what goes on in the rest of the world.    Plus, some of the gangs are headed by very nice people from the former SU, and you probably don't want to be anywhere near any of them.

If you use your cards heavily, you might waste MORE time looking at every single alert, than dealing with the very occassional fraud that does come up.   But your choice.

To be completely fair....it's not that huge a deal to YOU. To others, it may be. 

Again, these posts are for information and no one should or can tell another what is a huge deal when it comes to their personal credit.

no disrespect intended.

I got hit on mine Saturday night at 11:46.

mojang.com-  for $26.95

Thankfully I had text alerts set up, called yesterday morning and have a new card on the way.

IME-  It always seems to be my chase cards that get hit at least once or twice a year.

Thank you for sharing! Fraud is not fun!

Chase is really good with fraud detection, but I guess they have to be, since I've been hacked three times, all Chase accounts...

Thanks for adding your own Chase card fraud experience also which will be noted. I been on this like flies on stink a long time and frankly am sick of seeing it crop up all the time and almost always Chase cards being the most popular target of them all.
