Capital One Data Breach

I got a call from Capital One Fraud Dept. The person said that there was a data breach, they need me to verify last transactions on my account and they will issue me a new card. I told them I would call the number on the back of my card to continue the conversation. Smiley Wink 

I called Capital One, and yep, it was legit. I'll be getting a new card within a week.

Just a headsup in case you also get a call! But I would still advise you to hang up with the caller and call back in yourself.

Re: Capital One Data Breach

Thanks for the update. I wonder if the breach has anything to do with a breach at certain hotels.
