Fraud Alert

Hey everyone, 

 

Haven't posted in a while, but I need some recommendations on which steps to take. This morning I received an alert from my mom's Amex BCE for a requested transaction of $1500 for gift cards. There was also a charge to the  Pittsburgh Foundation for $1.39, this I imagine to test whether the card was legit or not. Although the card is hers, the account is mine. I contacted Amex and after going through all their verifications and information, they are replacing the card and cancelling the requests. I have changed the password on my account and was wondering if I should take additional steps. Neither her nor I have used the BCE in a couple of months as I've been using my Delta, and Amex has added a fraud alert to the Delta card, should I be taking further actions? I've checked all other of my acocunts and have seen no random charges from them.

Re: Fraud Alert

Nothing much. You have done whatever you could do. The good thing is that you have taken a prompt action. You can impose a farud alert on one of the 3 credit reports.
