Fraud - CSP

[Striker1]

Just got a text alert/email - $100.75 charge at a gas station not too far away from me, but far enough.  I immediately logged into my account online and called Chase. There was already a fraudulent charge of $2k or so at a Home Depot near me that I disputed. No cards have been lost so not sure what happened..

New cards with new numbers being overnighted but should I worry about anything else? I'm not noticing any wierd activity with my bank accounts. I'm guessing my credit card info was skimmed somewhere and then used to purchase something at HD to be sold for cash later on or something to that effect.

Sorry to hear about this. I've said this before, but it's just amazing to me how many people on here have fraudulent charges occur on their Chase cards. I know it can happen with any card, but why does this happen so frequently with Chase cards? Kind of scary! Do you use anything like Apple Pay?

No to using Apple Pay.. just used it at a restaurant last night. Hasn't been used at all today other than the fraudulent charges.

At least that number has been shut down and new cards are on the way and they said charges would go away within 72 hours (I hope).

That stinks! Makes you wonder how they got your card info and how were they able to use it at a gas station and another store without having the card present? Do you have an AU on it?

[Striker1]

My guess is maybe at the restaurant from last night?

Wife is an AU and she is actually the one that saw the alert and immediately double checked to make sure we both had our cards in our wallets.  At least CSR was super helpful/nice. Hopefully this will all blow over in the next couple of days, but I have read about these cards and fraud being a problem maybe more so than other cards..

It's possible it happened at the restaraunt last night, but to use it at a gas station and a brick and mortar store they'd have to have an actual card and not just the card numbers, etc. (as opposed to ordering something online). It's a possibility that your card was skimmed awhile back and they had a card made with your info. on it. It's hard to say, but I hope you get this cleared up. I've heard Chase is really good about stuff like this, so you should be fine. I'd just watch the rest of your accounts really close over the next few months.

As others have said nothing really to worry about.  Sadly tons of cards are used fraudulently everyday and it's impossible to know where the card info was copied.  The cc companies don't even try to track it down as there isn't much they can do.  New card will come and you'll be fine.  Happened to me last month with my Ritz card.

I wouldn't think Apple Pay would be causing it, unless I'm misunderstanding your question.

No, I was just curious if the OP stored his credit card info in anything like Apple Pay. There's just so many Chase customers who are being affected by fradulent charges recently - 3 on this thread alone within the past month. Just trying to see if there is a common link. As Irish stated, it's impossible to track down this kind of stuff, but I just can't help notice how prevalent it is with Chase's cards lately.
