lets  see how LTL would feel if this happened to their own bank account and was told, sure we will 

 

give you your money back as this is fraud , BUT not until the 8-12 week investigation is complete. 

 

Im sure you wouldn't be happy, just like Baller and the rest........ It's not their $ but still feel violated 

 

to some extent. 


Definitely is something that DEMANDS serious attention and NEVER to be taken so lightly whatsoever.

This is just another example from a constant long string of similar occurances while not just exclusive to Chase alone by any stretch, DOES indicate compelling evidence but that an intrusion of some fashion IS BEEN AND IS STILL VERY ACTIVE within their systems.

 

In other words, a no-brainer. If you have a Chase card you can pretty well expect that there are odds on favorite that at some point (unless corrected) your card numbers are of a much higher percentage more vulnerable then their competitors at present.


This is reasonable because Chase has the most cards in circulation, thus odds would say this, but not for the reasons you infer.

 

Try to think of how many hops are involved in a transaction.  You go from a swipe at a store (or restaurant, etc.), it hits a payment gateway processor, processor submits athorization to the credit card network, credit card network submits to the issuer, the issuer approves (or declines), credit card network response goes back to the bank, bank then back to store, store accepts response, and you get what I am getting at. 

 

Yes, this is frustrating and the same charge on multiple accounts warrants a different perspective, but in the end we all use CC's so we are not liable and you don't temporarily lose checking accounts funds (debit card use).

I think a different situation occurs when the card has never been used anywhere, and is a new card, but is already compromised. It happened to a few of us via Chase, so that is one reason I think CreditMagic7 is making the point, which is a good one. Then when you have a number of Chase-only cards being compromised on the same day to the same vendor, but we are all in different locations, it makes it look as if there is an internal Chase issue, since Chase is the common thread. There is more going on here than just a merchant breach. Smiley Happy

As I said I do agree it warrants a different look based on that data point.  I get frustrated when so many folks 99.9% immediately default to it can ONLY be the issuer without considering how many entry points there are.

  Citi usually has the most cards in circulation.

I just got hit too. MOJANG.COM for $26.95

 

Why is Chase not catching these now? It seems obvious...


So I called Chase fraud/security last night and they of course took care of the transaction and cancelled my card and re-issued a new one. I alerted them to the fact that I'm not the only one experiencing fraudulent transactions on these cards right now and they need to investigate further. The woman was really dismissive, so that wasn't impressive to me. I urged her to look at my other Chase card accounts to make sure nothing looked suspcious and insisted again she raise concerns internally in case there has been a data breach involving IHG card accounts.

 

I haven't used a website in a long time that doesn't validate expiration date and/or CVV codes, so I have a hard time believing that card numbers are just being guessed. If that is the case, these merchants are the ones at fault for not adequately validating card information.

I'm sure they field lots of fraud calls on a daily basis. So, it's probably not the big deal to them as it is to us. Hey wasn't the chip technology SUPPOSED to cut down fraudulent charges a great deal?
