And then there's Fraud

[Anonymous]

last night $1.00 transaction and reversal from Uber. 

That's odd have used it with my Discover but only via Apple Pay.

This afternoon $200 purchase at Sketchers online.

I should have frozen my account last night when I saw the Uber charge for $1.00.

Check those alerts cafefully.

Aww that stinks. Sorry about that! Thankfully you caught it now

Is it mean that I cracked up laughing that someone would steal a credit card and then buy hecking SKECHERS with it of all things?

In all seriousness, it is good that you bring this up. That's apparently what people do is make a small charge at first to make sure it works(?) and then BAM...$200

Do you have fraud alerts setup for any certain amount? I believe you can set a block for purchases higher then x amount and if you do a purchase, they will text you and you can respond. Hopefully, everything clears up with out much of a hassle!

I get alerts for every purchase.  I may use the card for large purchases $300, 500 or more so I can't limit it but I am very happy I get the authorization alerts as an early warning.

Discover is pretty good they are expressing out new cards even though I didn't ask and could have waited.

I’m sure you notified CCC but just double checking. 

Yep, I have alerts up the kazoo. A lifesaver they truly are.

I usually keep my cards maxed out so that doesn’t happen. On a serious note thank god you have alerts set up. I do as well. I had that happen to me before I was eating dinner at one restaurant and getting pizza delivered apparently at another for 800.00 worth lol. Didn’t realize I was that hungry.

I set up alerts for any spending on all my credit cards.  The minor annoyance is worth the security.
