Freedom card number stolen.....

[Bobert22]

I have the app on my iPhone for Chase and as soon as anything over $1.00 is charged in a single transaction on the account I receive a email as well as a push notification to my phone. It shows the time,address, and merchant name. This is the reason I love Chase and use it as my main card.

I know the majority of other major banks have email alerts as soon as you make a payment. Also AMEX has Passbook for iPhone which alerts (push notification) as soon as you use the card.

I'm not sure why you contacted the police since Chase is handling it. If Chase said no we aren't helping, then a police report would be understandable. The contactless chip really is not that dangerous, but the feature isn't really that advantageous. You always have 0 liability for fradulent charges, so nothing to worry about. I think it's being overly paranoid to assume that since a credit card was used your identity was stolen aswell. I advise against freezing any reports or enrolling in lifelock.

I get text and emails from Chase.. I had someone steal my Disney rewards card at a Shell gas station; the next day it was used for 1.00. I have the alert set to anything over .25cents. Chase said most people do like $25.00. But while I was on the phone with Chase cancelling the card and reporting fraud they tried to put thru a charge for $599.00. Now CC thieves are getting smarter and seeing if they will get unnoticed for a small amount, if so then they try to charge a large amount.
