Check your Synchrony Cards for Fraud

A PP Extras MC card that had never been outside the house only used for small transactions online the last one being at riteaid.com has been hit for also $350. I got a alert in Mint for lots of fast food outside of my normal set $50/month budget. Just double check your cards and make sure you're not hit.

Lobster, bah. I'd have ordered several dozen cases of Eastern North Carolina barbecue sauce.

Just an FYI: Fraud is not related to the lender, but the place your transactions take place (Common Point of Purchase). I work in information security and spend a fair amount of my day researching data breaches, like the one I am currently remediating.

My Marvel card got shut down last month.  I didn't even know they shut it down, till I tried to use it and it declined at the register.  They already sent me a new card and different cc#.  I guess they caught it before it happened and shut the card down. 

 

They reported to the credit bureaus that my card was closed and lost/stolen.  However, that wasn't the case, since I still had the card.  They also wouldn't disclose what vendor they suspected.  Thank goodness, I didn't lose my history when the new card reported recently.
